The first step toward therapy is showing up. Congratulations on already taking that step. I’m here to help you feel seen, heard, and supported throughout your therapeutic journey. I work with individuals who are navigating depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of trauma. My approach is collaborative and individualized to help you reach your individual goals. I'm here to support you when you're ready.
I use a variety of evidence-based practices such as mindfulness, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and a strengths-based approach to target your individualized goals. I believe that collaboration is key to treatment, which is why I am highly adaptable to your individualized needs and value your input, values, and overarching goals.
I believe therapy should feel like a safe and honest space where you can speak freely and feel truly heard. My communication style is warm, direct, and grounded in empathy. I listen carefully to not just what you're saying, but what you might be feeling underneath the surface.
