Now accepting new clients for telehealth appointments. Life presents challenges for us to overcome and grow from, but what if it is unclear for us to know what to do? If you find yourself struggling with gaining clarity, fears of failing or missing out, or not knowing where to start, let's work together to define or reimagine what success means to you and give you the tools to keep moving forward.
As your therapist, I will be adaptable to your needs and figuratively travel step-by-step with you until you have the confidence to proceed with the tools and supports available to you. My therapeutic background consists of Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as other therapeutic approaches related to humanistic and holistic therapy.
Therapy is typically not one-size-fits-all and works best when the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client is collaborative and personable. I find it helpful to check in with clients at the conclusion of sessions to identify any helpful, unhelpful, or puzzling moments to address how to best meet your goals going forward.

Client's that would benefit from work on self-esteem issues, anxiety, or difficulty with life transitions can typically expect the first several sessions addressing past and current thoughts and feelings about themselves to identify patterns/beliefs and how those influence their behavior. Most clients will notice feeling more clarity and a gradual reduction of symptoms over 2-3 months.
