Welcome! I work with individual adults and adolescents who are feeling stuck and desiring some sort of shift in their lives. This can look like a a life transition (going to college, career change, grief, etc), relationship with yourself (the way you view and treat yourself), or shifting your overall mood (anxiety, depression, trauma). I aim to be a partner in change, rather than the expert on your life. I help people understand why they do the things they do by exploring how their past impacts their present day functioning. I offer tools for you to use in the present moment while we are gaining awareness of your patterns.
I come from an empathetic, non-judgmental stance where clients have the freedom to discuss whatever is heavy on their hearts. I have an eclectic approach to the theories I rely on in the therapeutic process including but not limited to CBT, EMDR, and Psychodynamic. This allows the client to get individualized treatment to meet their unique needs.
It is truly an honor to be a therapist and bear witness to the most intimate parts of the human struggle. If I seem like the right fit for you, I welcome you to come join me on the journey to healing, growth, and lasting change.
