About My Clients

Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety or are in a transition period of your life? Issues such as low self-esteem or excessive worrying can often be symptom of underlying anxiety. These symptoms can affect your day to day life and you do not have to suffer through this alone. Therapy can be a great place to learn effective coping skills and strategies that can help you feel more grounded in your daily life.

My Background and Approach

I utilize an eclectic approach in therapy in order to draw out your strengths and inner voice. I have a very empathic and validating approach, and structure my sessions around your particular needs at the time. I am happy to answer any questions or concerns you have regarding the therapy process, as I believe it is very important for the therapist and client to be on the same page. Since I began my career in mental health in 2011, I have experience working with individuals who struggle with anxiety and worry. I bring to bear that experience and tailor my approach to what it is you are needing in the moment of the session. offer my expertise to support you through your own journey towards healing and a sense of inner peace.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has "blind spots", or areas of difficulty that are great opportunities for growth. These blind spots sometimes catch up to us during a particularly difficult or challenging moment in our lives, and I choose to view them as a great opportunity for curiosity and growth. I believe that people can change and that we are all motivated by our own internal values and principles that hold importance to us, sometimes subconsciously. I enjoy exploring these internal values with my clients, since they serve as a sort of compass, and I tend to find that when we are not alignment with this compass is when we experience stress or issues with mood or anxiety. Bringing our true values to light, and reevaluating them can be a rewarding process when done in a safe therapeutic setting. It is my belief that people can change, and that change can occur with more ease when we are in internal alignment with what is most important to us.
