Healing is rarely a linear process, and no one should have to address life's many challenges alone. I hope to assist you in navigating these challenges, and I believe this starts with building and maintaining a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to express yourself, free of judgment. I am passionate about empowering others to learn healthy coping and communication skills, manage stress and anxiety, address traumatic experiences, and improve relationships with both oneself and others.
I use a combination of person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approaches to respect and support each individual's needs and goals. I have 10+ years of experience working with older adults, caregivers, families, and individuals of various backgrounds, ages, and needs in both healthcare and community-based settings.
Taking the first step in reaching out can feel overwhelming, but you are not alone. We can navigate this process together when you are ready. I genuinely look forward to being a part of your healing journey!
