Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. Change, however, rarely happens on its own. I am committed to supporting my clients through difficult seasons, helping them identify their strengths, develop practical tools, and create meaning. I utilize multiple approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT), Self-Compassion, Humanistic Therapy, and Trauma Focused Therapy to assist client in meeting therapy goals.
I specialize in providing care for individuals ages 18-100 within the individual, couples and family therapy settings. I aim to curate each client's treatment plan to reflect the clients' strengths and interests. Therapy should feel like a journey and not a task.
If you feel ready to begin therapy, start off by sending a message. The hardest step to starting therapy is typing that email, sending that text or pressing the call button. Don't feel as though we need to jump into immediate change and instead lets focus on identifying ways to help you feel comfortable taking those first steps.
