About My Clients

I have worked with many clients throughout all age ranges between 4-66 years old, but I primarily focus on working with adults now. My initial goals are getting to know you and understanding what you are hoping to get out of therapy. My hope is to empower you and help break down goals to address issues that anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other life circumstances bring on.

My Background and Approach

I ensure that my approach is warm, inviting, collaborative, and aimed to build a positive therapeutic relationship first in order to make progress towards intended goals. I use CBT and solution focused approaches but also consider myself client-centered and want to make sure you feel heard and validated to process your thoughts and emotions in a comforting space.
