Introduction

I invite clients into a supportive atmosphere through active listening and a non-judgmental stance. I appreciate the importance of developing a trusting relationship while being dedicated to delivering compassionate, patient-centered care. With this approach and setting our treatment goals, I look forward to working together! My approach emphasizes on meeting you in the here and now, focusing on your experiences and emotions. Together, we'll use evidence-based CBT and DBT tools to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults who may be navigating depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and stress. Getting started can be difficult, but together we will establish trust, promoting growth, ongoing wellness, and emotional resiliency . Please feel free to email me to book a free 15 minute consultation.
