About My Clients

Do you feel like your past is haunting you? Or you can't seem to move forward with your life goals? When all of these anxieties are lingering around, you can start to feel overwhelmed, drowning or just down right stuck. Taking the steps to challenge yourself is extremely difficult and can be scary; however, the journey can be incredibly rewarding. I look forward to supporting you with that journey and feelings empowered in your life again!

My Background and Approach

Throughout my career I have been fortunate enough to study different techniques, theories and skills to bring clarity to my clients. I believe that my experience allows me to bring a multi-disciplinary approach to help clients achieve their goals and obtain holistic wellness. My approach is centered around a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) theories. Furthermore, I integrate dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skills to support clients with grounding exercises and integrating their whole body experience. The psychodynamic theory in my practice is to help clients discover their own pasts and how it contributes to their current thoughts and beliefs about themselves and those around them.I utilize CBT skills in order to challenge clients’ current thoughts and behaviors in the moment and provide tangible skills to practice everyday. Respectively, I see the the two theories as long-term and short-term work.
