About My Clients

I am warm, compassionate, inclusive and provide a safe space where I can collaborate fully with clients and work towards building a therapeutic relationship built on treating every single individual with dignity and respect. If you are feeling sad, lonely, stressed, unsure or frustrated, I will work with you to help you get back to where you want to be in life.

My Background and Approach

I implement a variety of approaches, including CBT, REBT, motivational interviewing, person centered, trauma focused and a healthy dose of compassion. Together, we will work on identifying how our emotions, thoughts, behaviors often conflict with each other and how we can learn new ways to better manage these. I implement a non-judgmental, conversation-based approach to help you feel comfortable navigating a therapeutic relationship tailored to your specific needs. Mostly, I want to create an environment in which you feel accepted no matter what your issue or concern may be, as nothing you are trying to overcome is ever insignificant.
