No matter how long you have struggled, or how stuck you feel, you CAN heal and grow... and I will help you to also believe that as we work together to unpack and take apart what is holding you back, and illuminate and build upon your strengths.
You will be in a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental space with me, as we do healing and transformative work.
I have helped people of all ages with struggles in a wide range of issues including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and interpersonal issues. Everyone is welcome; and I would be honored if you would ask me to help empower you to move forward.
I have an eclectic, integrative, client-centered approach. This means I use evidence-based modalities for your unique needs. As your therapist, I help you gain insight, coping strategies, develop healthy relationship dynamics, find and take hold of your inner strength to move forward from stuck places, and move toward the life you have been wanting.
Just know there is hope, and I’m here to help see you through your challenges! It may seem hard to imagine right now, but we will work to get from where you are at, to arrive where your life feels more fulfilling, not just less challenging. I will help you reach realistic, achievable goals with a balance of challenge and support.
