Accepting new clients! I pride myself in being a very intuitive person and naturally allow clients to feel at ease, especially if it's their first time in therapy. I will provide a safe space for us to explore any mental health/life concerns. If you'd like a gentler approach or a more straight-forward approach, I can do either- that is the beauty of personalized treatment! I like to utilize a person-centered approach to ensure you feel heard and validated.
My most common clients include those struggling with anxiety, ADHD, poor boundaries/people-pleasing tendencies, relationship or attachment issues, OCD, perinatal issues, grief, and any type of previous trauma. I see both teens and adults!
I offer both telehealth and in-person visits for therapy. If you have questions, send an email! I would be honored to walk alongside you as your guide. Currently, I am pausing on couples' and only doing individual therapy.
