Life can be hard. Sometimes we just need a safe place to vent. Other times we want input from a neutral party to gain a new perspective. As your therapist, I will help you identify what will help you move forward and navigate the difficult times. I am a thoughtful and compassionate listener and will validate your experiences from a place of genuine care. I offer support and insight through constructive yet gentle questioning and suggestions. I excel at empowering individuals who struggle in relationships and may experience problems with depression, anxiety, perfectionism, self confidence and past traumas.
I have years of experience working in multiple settings with people from very different backgrounds. This, and my pursuit of my own personal growth, has assisted me in being able to be fully present for my clients and their unique needs. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) through an Attachment Theory lens.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or you’re having difficulty finding motivation, you are not alone. Asking for help truly is the hardest step. Please email me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation and let's see if working together can increase your moments of happiness and feelings of self-worth. I look forward to talking with you.
