Life can be hard. Sometimes we just need a safe place to vent. Other times we want input from a neutral party to gain new perspective. As your therapist, I will help you identify what will help you move forward and grow, even in some of the most difficult times. I am a thoughtful and compassionate listener who 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 related to anxiety, perfectionism, self confidence and past trauma.
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.
Asking for help is truly the hardest step. We all need connection and support to be our best selves. 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.
