I'm a therapist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy and respect, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while actively working towards active solutions . Using evidence-based techniques and a collaborative approach, I help my clients develop practical skills to manage stress, and create balance in their personal and professional lives.
I am committed to helping my clients cultivate a solution-oriented mindset that empowers them to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. To achieve this, I use a multi-faceted approach that draws on a range of evidence-based techniques that draw on your individual strengths and work towards challenging areas of discomfort.
In order to create the change you want to see, we can work together to find your "Why" and cultivate the drive to power that change. I can never climb the mountain that is LIFE for you, but I can be your Sherpa that gets you to the top.
