Life can be full of challenges and it can be a greater battle to ask for help. At times we may not know how to ask for help and that is okay. Sometimes the only thing we may need is someone to talk to or to find some guidance. One of the most common goals that most people have is to feel okay and what that may look like for you. As a therapist I am here to help you on that journey of achieving your goals.
The type of approach that most individuals lean towards and that I tend to use most is person-based therapy and I am there to support you. Some other approaches can be Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and together we can work on challenges and goals.
From experience I know that asking for help can be very scary and can make you feel hopeless at times. I became to realize that I wanted to become the person I once needed throughout my life. It would be an honor to assist and walk through your healing journey with you and let me be the first to say I am proud of you for taking the first step.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety. I have also worked with clients that struggle with depression or trauma related experiences. I primarily like to use person-centered therapy in which the client takes the wheels to drive their healing journey and I as the therapist is here for support and guidance.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the first few session. This allows us to build report. Afterwards I will start to implement person-centered therapy and other techniques that would best fit the client's needs.
