About My Clients

Have you ever wanted to have therapy but in the comfort of your own home? I offer virtual sessions to best support you and your comfort. I strive to provide a safe, welcoming space for clients to allow themselves to be vulnerable and explore what's going on. I enjoy working with those who want to manage their self-care, build a healthy work-life balance, set/reach goals, going through changes and life transitions, and much more. I love to meet my clients where they are at in their process.

My Background and Approach

I love using an eclectic approach with all of my clients. While I agree that evidenced-based practices are wonderful and important, I also want to focus on what you need most. I tend to pull from various therapy modalities and intertwine the interventions and techniques to best support you and your goals. I love being my true, genuine, authentic self, and I would hope that you feel safe and comfortable enough to do the same. I meet you where you are at in your journey, and that might look different each session, and that's ok! I am caring, warm, and genuine, and I keep it real. I love doing check-ins at the start of sessions so we can see if there is anything we need to address first. I strive to help people be the best version of themselves and that looks different for everyone.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

No one is immune to stress, grief, or major changes and challenges in life, myself included. I've had people say before, "You're a therapist, you must have it all figured out" or "You can't get stressed if you know how to relax." I'm human and I have those experiences too. Sometimes therapy isn't always just about "fixing" things. Sometimes it is about having that safe space to explore, learn, challenge beliefs or thoughts, learn to reframe things, to learn/build new skills, and even just to have that safe space to vent and process through things.
