Some people begin their healing journey with a clear road map of where to start and where they are headed. Others have no idea where to start, just that they want things to be different. I enjoy walking this journey with clients no matter the starting point and believe that change is always possible.
I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, stress management, and self-esteem issues. I primarily use a person-centered and psychodynamic approach, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy.
My approach is strength- and relational-based. I believe that everyone is capable of growth and healing, and I value bearing witness to the moment people realize they had it within themselves all along. This is not to say the journey will be easy and obstacle-free, as healing is never linear, but clients will never walk alone.
The first step is not always the hardest. Sometimes, the second or third step is even more terrifying, because it means we are committed to this journey. Healing and growth can be painful, but it is always worth it. If we want tomorrow to be any different, we have to do something different today.
