About My Clients

Clients come to me for support with overcoming adversity in order to start living their best life. I have nearly 10yrs of experience supporting youth, adults, and families as a therapist. I work with youth and adults in need of support with a variety of challenges, such as Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, ADHD, and Body Image Issues via individual therapy. I strive to help people grow beyond their trauma by building the resilience, skills, and resourcefulness they need improve their quality of life.

My Background and Approach

I provide trauma-informed, client-centered, and strengths-based support that leans toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrated therapeutic strategies, recognizing the individual needs of my clients. My style is affirming, empathetic, and encouraging, which fosters your ability to identify unhelpful patterns, process complex emotions, and strengthen the coping skills you need for personal growth. You can expect our sessions to provide a nonjudgemental space for you to feel safe to explore, grow, and heal. In our work together, you are in the driver's seat and I am the GPS that helps you get to where you want to go on your road to wellness.
