Often, starting therapy can feel overwhelming. I congratulate you on taking the first step to improving your life. I specialize in working with adults of all ages navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem, addiction, LGBT+, and Gender. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, and I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself and work to better your circumstances. My approach I use an integrative approach in therapy using different modalities to help you identify and reshape unhelpful processes that may be impacting your life. This approach is tailored to you and will help you develop tools to feel more in control of your emotions, behaviors, and circumstances. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My focus Have you been struggling with life changes? I work with adults who are managing stressors in life, as well as those seeking supportive therapy. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or seeking additional support, I’ll work collaboratively with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable. My communication style You can expect clear, open, and respectful communication in a supportive, non-judgmental environment when we’re together.
