I am glad you are here. Asking for help can sometimes be the hardest part of the journey. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and acute/chronic health conditions. I use a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your individual needs. Please reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. My approach Based on your individual needs and desired length of therapy, I utilize various therapeutic models and tools. I aim to help you identify goals for therapy and then work collaboratively to accomplish them. My focus Have you been struggling to complete what should be simple daily tasks? Do you avoid activities because of feelings of anxiety and stress? Is life currently overwhelming? I work with older teens to middle-aged adults to overcome anxiety, depression, and other barriers to daily life. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences. My journey to mental healthcare I started my career in hospitals working with a variety of clients. This experience showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery. I’m continually driven by the belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Seeing my clients grow and work through their goals is such a wonderful experience. My goals for you I believe in a collaborative team approach. Together, we will identify your goals and a strategy that works well for you. We will check in on progress each session and adapt as necessary. I am here to support you and your needs. My first session with you We will spend our first session getting to know each other. We will discuss what brought you to therapy and give you opportunities to discuss your expectations.
