If it's been a while since you've felt heard and safe I'm here to help. In therapy I can provide that space while also keeping your growth and goals in mind. In our sessions Honesty, kindness and support is the best policy. As a person centered therapist sessions are unique to every individual, This allows for a personalized therapy experience for every client. I value using every day language so that sessions can flow and feel natural to allow you to apply what you learn in your day to day life. Therapy is a collaborative process and I highly encourage and incorporate feedback in therapeutic relationship.
I have extensive experience working with adolescents navigating autonomy and social relationships, young adults and women dealing with life transitions. I have experience working with individuals that have difficulties with setting boundaries and people pleasing, as well as familial relations.
I would love to connect with you to start your healing journey. In a short consultation we can determine how we can work together. Take this a sign that you're on the right track to living your best life. I'm looking forward to connecting and figuring out how we can work together :)

I work with those that may be struggling with feeling understood and lack connection. Whether you are struggling with trauma or day to day activities I help you feel validated. We will explore any concerns and what you truly hope to get out of therapy. Most clients will gain understanding of their emotions and symptoms. I take great pride and joy in empowering my clients to express their feelings

I like to approach therapy and my clients in the most human way possible. I normalize that we all have feelings and sometimes can find it difficult to control our reactions. I acknowledge your success and encourage improvement. I'm open to sharing about self experiences to strengthen our connection because no one's is perfect and it's important to know that :)
