Are you someone who is looking to gain an understanding of why it’s so hard to have a meaningful life? Maybe you have been searching endlessly for an answer to this question but have yet to find it. And coming to therapy feels overwhelming. Look no further because you've come to the right place! My ideal client is you. I help clients to understand their overwhelming emotions and how these emotions can affect our daily lives. And in doing this, it allows me to offer you a different perspective of how to work through hard emotions. Using this approach builds trust with clients and insight of understanding my therapeutic approach.
I am a person-centered therapist with 13 years of clinical and medical social work offering individual therapy. My specialties include Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Illness, Teens, & Trauma. I have an integrative approach to therapy using modalities like CBT, DBT, Self-Compassion, and IFS. I also incorporate an understanding of mind-body responses to trauma.
In our work together I will empower you to make the choices that will be meaningful to you. I do this by offering empathy and understanding for how therapy is a vulnerable experience that can bring up a lot of emotions. And giving you the space to feel these emotions. It would be a privilege to be part of your therapy journey of self-exploration & self love.

As I therapist, I often use Self-Compassion in my therapy practice. In your first session, we will identify what brings you to therapy and create a treatment plan to reaching your goals. We'll look at how a pattern of negative self-talk and blame creates a distorted self-image. And using Self-Compassion will enable me to teaching you to challenge those distorted beliefs about yourself.
