About My Clients

I work with individuals experiencing a range of anxiety or depression from life transitions, relationships, work or school stress while providing a judgement free, safe space to discuss your feelings and thoughts. I always welcome humor into the room – I find that humor can be quite therapeutic when dealing with some of life’s challenges. As an avid Office fan, I believe that humor blended with lots of respect and smart strategies can be a highly affective therapeutic tool!

My Background and Approach

I was drawn to the therapy profession because as a kid I’ve always been a science and psych nerd (with some history mixed in). Combining learning how your past experiences are affecting your present along with the motivation to take action is where potential for growth lies. My work is rooted in helping you gain insight while bringing in evidence-based practices and strategies, identifying your strengths and goals, and helping you take action to live a fulfilling life. My clinical style has been described as warm, humorous, and authentic. I am client-centered and strive to meet my clients where they are before shifting to a place of empowerment and motivation. Therapy doesn’t always have to be about dealing with tough emotions, it can be funny and creative; sometimes, I make use of reading and music to enhance the emotional processing experience.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I stand for equality for all and support social justice causes. No one should feel like they don't belong in the world. We all bring a uniqueness into this world and that should be embraced. I welcome everyone from all walks of life into my therapy practice. Therapy is an intense, multifaceted relationship that has a unique healing ability. Hearing others’ stories of resilience and watching them independently stand in their power despite the discomfort of doing so is inspiring and drives my passion in this field.
