I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, but I want to assure you that I am here to make this process as comfortable and centered around you as possible. As your therapist, I am committed to being empathetic and supportive, while also offering honest feedback that encourages your personal growth and autonomy. This is your journey, and I will be here to support you through the changes you're working to make. My goal is to offer a nonjudgmental, unbiased perspective on whatever brings you to therapy, helping you navigate the challenges you are facing.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, addressing concerns like substance abuse, BPD, eating disorders, trauma, domestic violence, and a wide range of other mental health challenges. My experience spans all ages and I’ve also facilitated group counseling. Currently, I work with individuals and couples.
As an eclectic therapist, I tailor my approach to best suit your unique needs. I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques, depending on what will work best for you. I would love the opportunity to work with you to help you find the best path forward.
