When a client brings their story and their struggles, I want to provide them a respectful and compassionate space to express emotions. People who have difficulty with depression, life transitions and anxiety are my specialty, especially bringing clarity during scary and uncertain times. I’m here to provide compassionate and empathetic care.
I offer a Strengths-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Framework, so we can both simultaneously and concretely target problem areas while building your strengths. I also give counseling through a Narrative framework and place emphasis on reframing narratives.
Trust is hard to foster sometimes and I understand that. I want to give you the time and the space to share in the emotional healing that comes through therapy. I am very passionate about the therapeutic work and want to help and support you through this journey.
