Navigating life's challenges and cultivating new habits can be a demanding journey, especially when unexpected hurdles arise. Whether it's overcoming an eating disorder, managing stress or anxiety, or navigating chronic health conditions - implementing coping strategies and developing a routine that accommodates mental and physical health needs can be difficult.

My priority is to help clients lead a valued, fulfilling life. I work well with creative or insightful individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life decisions or transitions. In addition to working through specific challenges, psychotherapy is an opportunity for you to gain insight into why you act the way you do, explore who you want to be in the world, and better understand what you need in order to thrive. I feel privileged to do this kind of work with people.

Renowned psychologist Carl Rogers once stated that the process of a ‘good life’ involves stretching, growing, and becoming more and more of one's potentialities. He argued that the individual who chooses growth as their compass in life, is truly an inwardly free individual (Rogers, 1961). Inspired by Rogers’ outlook, I focus my work with clients on expanding their process of growth into an engaging endeavor rather than a strenuous one.

You may choose to seek therapy during times of emotional pain or when you wish to merely grow. Whatever your reasoning is, I can provide ways for you to work through various issues, learn about feelings, understand the different patterns of thinking by gaining perspective on past/current events in your life, provide support with relationships, processing past/current trauma and learning positive coping tools to meet your needs by providing the highest quality care.
