Growth is a natural part of life. However, it can seem scary and impossible, at times, to achieve. When I think about the times in my life where I have grown as a person and as a therapist, they were the times when I felt the most challenged and vulnerable. The same can be said for the process of therapy. It can be extremely difficult and, at the same time, extremely rewarding. That is why I believe in using both support and gentle challenges to help clients meet their goals. I aim to help clients have a safe, supportive space for them to be their most authentic, vulnerable selves.

As an LCSW, I work from a strengths-based perspective. I strongly believe in the social work ideal of unconditional positive regard and the potential in every person to learn and grow at any stage in life. I work with a variety of therapeutic models-including Mindful Self-Compassion, CBT, IFS, and EMDR-to help my clients achieve their goals and live healthier lives.

As we travel this path through life, we encounter both internal and external challenges. Therefore, I meet the client where they are upon the first meeting. Each stage of life and each individual is unique. I take an eclectic approach to address my client’s needs for what I assess will be most effective and also comfortable. Therapy is a directed process to move forward to live life as optimally as possible .

People do not come one size fits all, but one thing that can meet the needs of many is empathy. The ability to sit with another person in their pain, confusion, or fear is powerful. My goal with clients is always to meet them where they are and be present with them as they navigate life's ups and downs.
