My approach to Psychotherapy is warm, inviting, and strength based. I believe that each individual has a unique journey and story that needs to be told. My goal is to foster a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship that will allow for those individuals to tell their story in a safe and welcoming environment, without the fear or worry of being judged. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as Person Centered Therapy to incorporate an environment of humor and all around feeling of comfort, about the changes being made in one's life with each completed goal.

There are two major factors with making therapy beneficial - one is the client, and finding a therapist is a big step! The second is the therapeutic relationship, which is strengthened over time. I think therapy works best if someone is willing to allow me to join them in processing what's happening in their life, emotions, and stressors. By allowing me to sit with them, clients are working on strengthening that therapeutic relationship which makes therapy effective. I appreciate openness to different ideas and strategies, and clients can have short- or long-term needs.

I have experience working with the above as well as being trained in working with clients with BPD and clients who just feel like they need a safe space to discuss day to day life stressors. I stress to my clients that therapy is for everyone and there is no such thing as a "trauma olympics" where something is better or worse than others! I work with clients age 6+.

***I currently have daytime openings. No evenings or weekends. All appointments are virtual.*** At times, life can present us with obstacles that are difficult to navigate and though we know we need to make changes we don’t always know how to begin. We all need support and an empathetic ear and with that we are all capable of adapting. I have worked with children, families and adults for more than 20 years as they have adjusted to life’s circumstances. Over that time I have seen the impact that talking, listening and empathy can have in our lives.
