It is such a sign of strength to confront the challenges that we face in times of difficulty. I understand how issues relating to self esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, disordered eating, body image, work, relationships, parenting or other things can interfere with our ability to be our best selves. People need a comfortable, judgment free, and safe space to process their feelings, learn healthy coping skills, practice new thoughts/behaviors, and set goals for the future. I am committed to helping you create the change necessary to develop more satisfaction in your life.
My approach could be described as empathetic, genuine, relaxed, humorous (when appropriate!) and motivating. I use various methods to build insight, challenge self defeating thought patterns, and encourage self reflection. I can be creative with art, journaling, music and other forms of expression if traditional "talk therapy" feels difficult.
I value the therapeutic relationship that I build with each client. As a strengths based therapist, I focus on empowering you to live your best life. I offer guidance through this process and we will work as a team to navigate the obstacles you are facing. I encourage you to call/email to make an appointment and begin the journey. Change is possible!
