Hello! I would like to acknowledge that you are taking the first steps towards therapy. In working together, we will explore schemas (patterns) that have created barriers as you navigate life today. We will create a plan that helps you to feel empowered and confident. Whether you are looking to process negative cognitions, unhealthy coping skills, communication barriers or a lack of confidence we can work together to create change, embrace a healing journey and help to reveal the best version of yourself.
I truly take pride in my work as a mental health clinician. I am passionate about mental health as I often use the metaphor that mental health therapy can be seen as a gym or mental " workout" similar to the way we prioritize our physical health. I am available as someone who can support you through life's challenges as well as the wins.
I believe a therapeutic relationship is exactly as it sounds, a relationship. It is important that I build trust and connection with my clients as I respect the vulnerability that therapy requires. I specialize in treating: Trauma, Anxiety, Grief and loss, Depression and Life adjustments. I utilize CBT, DBT, Family systems theory,TFCBT and PositivePsycholgy
