Effective therapy begins with the client-therapist relationship. In my practice I create a safe space for discussion surrounding life’s inevitable challenges. The foundation of my sessions is empathy, and from an empathic perspective I seek to guide clients toward finding their own inner strength in the face of difficulty, complex emotions, loss, and traumatic situations. I am a highly sensitive therapist and I am skilled in treating highly sensitive people. Using a strengths-based approach, I can help foster understanding and resilience to move through negative experiences and self-defeating patterns into a place of empowerment.
I have worked with a host of different populations in my 23 plus years of therapeutic experience. Among my specialties is child and adolescent mental health. using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I create customized interventions that are tailored for each individual to help them develop new ways of thinking about themselves and their capabilities.
The strength it took you to reach out is very important to me and I will respond and help in any way that I can. I would love to speak with you and make a connection to build upon. Please reach out with any questions or concerns and I promise I will do my best to guide you in the direction you are meant to go in.
