To me, the client is always at the center of the therapeutic process. Your needs guide each session, while I incorporate a direct approach that values compassionate and empathic challenge when it is clinically appropriate. I have experience working in a variety of settings with diverse populations who have faced traumatic, stressful, and life-altering experiences. While circumstances may differ, the underlying struggles are often similar. Many of us encounter life transitions or events that lead to overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression, or grief. Unprocessed experiences and trauma can leave us feeling stuck or controlled by the past. Therapy can help you move forward without allowing previous experiences to continue negatively shaping your life. Together, we work to identify and remove the barriers that may be preventing you from becoming your best self. I draw from multiple therapeutic orientations and tools, tailoring my approach to meet your individual needs and discovering what is most effective for you. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where insight, growth, and healing can occur. I hope to have the opportunity to help you help yourself. Because you already possess what you need, even if it doesn't feel that way yet. Through the therapeutic relationship, support, and education, you can work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.
