About My Clients

I work by providing a judgment-free space for my clients and believe that counseling should be tailored to every person’s needs. Every person is different, so it is important to me to hear out clients and help them become the best version of themselves. While most of my experience lies in PTSD treatment, I work with all sorts of life's challenges.

My Background and Approach

I primarily practice from an eclectic perspective, which means that I utilize techniques from different schools of thought as they are appropriate for the unique needs of each client. Everyone has different needs, and different needs are best met with different approaches. Therapy is NOT a one-size-fits-all process. Whether you think that your problems are too big or too small for therapy, or if you are already convinced that therapy is right for you and are just looking for the right fit, I am here for you. Reach out and allow me to come along with you on your therapeutic journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a firm believer that nobody should need to struggle alone, and often the best thing that you can do is seek support for yourself during a difficult time. As surely as you would see a doctor when you're struggling with your physical health, I'm happy to see that you're here looking for help in this troubling time. Not only do I believe that therapy is a critical part of any healing journey, I believe that therapy should be focused on building resilience, cultivating change, and learning skills and strategies that help you to prepare for all of life's future challenges.
