You're doing everything "right" - but still feel disconnected, anxious or on edge. If you're feeling tired and unsure of what to do next, but you know that something needs to change, you've come to the right place. I view therapy as a collaborative process, and together we will work towards understanding your struggles, developing coping strategies, and fostering personal growth. My theoretical approach is person centered and I commonly utilized CBT, strength based, solution focused, mindfulness, and EMDR techniques when working with clients.
I specialize in working with individuals recovering from family of origin, perinatal (pregnancy/postpartum) and relational concerns. I enjoy working with both adolescents and adults to help them cope with difficult emotions, anxiety, depression as well as improve self esteem, relationship satisfaction and process unresolved trauma.
With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I aim to provide a safe space for you to explore your experiences and empower you to make positive changes that are necessary to achieving your full potential. You do not have to face your challenges alone. Please reach out to schedule a 15 minute phone consultation today to make sure we are a good fit!
