I help patients find hope in adversity. I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.
I am direct, candid, and transparent. I tell you what I think and welcome open dialogue. My approach is strengths-based and empowering, designed to provide compassionate, quality, and cost-effective counseling. I work with cisgender and LGBTQIA2+ people alike, ensuring that every individual feels seen, respected, and supported throughout their treatment.
As an empath and highly sensitive person, I am a highly educated therapist who believes a bond of trust is the first element of healing. I start sessions with psycho-education and emotional support, using mixed modalities to address your concerns. I am dedicated to elevating your progress based on your personal needs and unique lived experiences.
