Everyone starts their healing journey at a different point and for different reasons. Many people seek therapy because they are struggling with past or current situations in their life, or because they want to make a change. Others may be looking to learn more about themselves. Regardless of why you are starting therapy or where you are in your healing journey, I am honored and excited to work and grow with you. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you will feel not only accepted, but celebrated.
My therapeutic style incorporates narrative therapy, mindfulness, somatic (body-focused) techniques, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I operate under assumption that you are the expert in your own life – my role is to work with you to explore your goals and how we can reach them together.
Starting therapy can be fun, exciting, and empowering - and it can also be a little weird or scary. If you'd like to schedule a brief consultation to see if we might be a good fit, send me a message and we can chat about what you'd like to get from therapy, as well as what either has or has not worked for you in the past.
