Psychotherapist

Therapy can be scary. You never know what you'll learn about yourself and your life. I know I was scared when I started... So, congratulations on taking the big first step to becoming the best version of yourself. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. My approach I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you develop a relationship with yourself and the world around you. This approach is a mix of hands-on and processing. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach in a way that makes sense to you. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My focus I work with young and emerging adults who are managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support for whatever life throws their way. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable. Through the use of your unique hobbies and interests, I cater my teachings of complex psychological concepts in a way that makes sense to you. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. My communication style I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. Other times, I may empathize with you through a metaphorical joining in your outrage through a mix of empathy/understanding and humor to make even the toughest of emotions easier to accept. My journey to mental healthcare In a sense, I knew I wanted to be a therapist before I even knew what therapy was. I went through my fair share of challenges transitioning into different stages in my life.
