I am passionate about helping others, yet, like many of you I have learned the hard way that to truly help others you must be willing to work on yourself first. I have done and continue to do the challenging work of unpacking and bouncing back. Within my toughest moments (when life was hard) I knew I needed help. So...here I am offering you the same chance to unpack your traumas, anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness. Then bounce back with healthier coping skills, clearer boundaries, and solid resilience skills.
Successful therapy relies on your connection with your therapist. Our sessions go at your pace. My style is supportive, collaborative, non-judgmental, and authentic. I offer space for emotional safety and humor, while we collaborate on reaching your goals. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and expressive arts to help you get unstuck in creative ways.
I see you. I see the person who wants to change, the child who wants to feel better, and the teen who wants to be understood. No matter your age I believe that vulnerability is more powerful than silence. When you are ready let's unpack and bounce back together!
