With warmth and compassion, I seek to accompany clients on their personal journey. Whether it be a time of change or loss, feelings of depression or anxiety, relationship difficulties, or a complex trauma history, I seek to provide a space where clients can feel safe, seek and find meaning through their experiences, and move towards their personal goals. I specialize in working with trauma, existential anxiety/dread/crisis, grief, mid-life specific issues, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.
I utilize a person-centered, strengths based approach to connect with each client in order reach their goals. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional - Level 2, also trained in CBT, TFCBT, MCBT, and DBT. I draw on strategies and techniques from these approaches and others, as appropriate for the individual client.
If you are experiencing any mental health symptoms, know that you are not alone, that your experience is valid, and it would be my pleasure to accompany you on your personal journey.
