About My Clients

I currently provide individual psychotherapy to adults across the lifespan who are struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety and panic, grief, or stress. I also provide a space to those who are having trouble adjusting to life transitions/changes, loss, relationship issues/conflict, work stress, and trauma.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy is client centered and strengths based. I helps clients identify how certain patterns of behavior or unresolved traumas can impact their functioning in the present. Using CBT concepts, I educate clients on how one's thoughts can influence their feelings and behaviors. For those experiencing stress, I work with client to identify what is contributing to their distress and explore ways to improve coping, so that those stressors become more manageable. I take pride in meeting clients where they are and in fostering a space where they feel heard, safe, and where judgement does not exist. During the intake process, I will utilize that visit to gather information to understand the client's history and set goals together. I may assign homework which can help clients become more insightful as they move through the therapeutic process. Clients often leave sessions feeling relieved, understood, and overtime notice a reduction in symptoms.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Whether it's your first time pursuing therapy or you're familiar with the process, it's important to choose someone who is a good fit and that meets your needs. I think everyone deserves to have a space where they can be their authentic selves, express their feelings, receive unbiased feedback, and where they feel supported. I understand personally how challenging it can be dealing with stress, depression, anxiety and other life issues, which helps me relate with clients on a deeper level. While there are a lot of reasons why someone chooses to engage in care, their needs are most often the same; they want a space where they feel heard, respected, and understood. Allow me to provide these things for you.
