A warm welcome to my page. I recognize the courage you are showing by exploring options for support. I am interested in the journey that has taken you to this moment, and I will provide a nonjudgmental and collaborative space to explore your story, your feelings, and your hopes for the future. I believe that we are all vulnerable to finding ourselves "stuck" in patterns that don't serve us well. I also believe in every person's ability to lead a fulfilling life and to maintain relationships that are meaningful, safe, and rewarding.
I help adolescents and adults who are experiencing emotional difficulties. My way of working is rooted in compassion and focuses not only on thoughts and beliefs, but also on the importance in emotions in helping us identify needs and make good choices.
I am an eclectic therapist, making use of a variety of evidence-based interventions, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. Let me invite you to collaborate with me on your healing journey.
