In your first therapy session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere where I create a safe space for open dialogue.

I incorporate both CBT and DBT into my practice.
I work with individuals ages 15+ (my oldest client is 75 so it's never too late to start therapy!) who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship issues, LGBT+ issues, or individuals trying to get out of a rut because they're tired of feeling stuck. Every client is unique and there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, but if you enjoy working toward positive behavior change, I think we'd be a good fit. I allow each client the space for us to process and explore issues together while also providing guidance and direction (most of my clients say it's a healthy mix of both).
