About My Clients

Most of my clients come to therapy feeling "stuck" and often hopeless. Depression may lead to lack of motivation to complete even the smallest tasks. With anxiety, you may be overcome with worry or feel overwhelmed in social situations. Perhaps the communication in your relationship has broken down or you’re having difficulty coming to terms with losing a loved one. You don't have to struggle alone! Therapy offers a way to explore these feelings in a safe, unbiased and supportive space.

My Background and Approach

Overwhelmingly, research suggests that the stronger the relationship between the client and therapist, the better the outcome of the therapy. Feeling like you can trust your therapist, feel safe with her, and form a real alliance is essential to stepping out of your comfort zone and taking the risks that will ultimately lead to positive growth and change. Therefore, the most important goal of my practice is not to simply diagnose and treat, but to truly connect with my clients: be curious about what makes them unique, accept them without judgment, learn from them, celebrate their strengths, and support their progress. Once this relationship is established, I'll work collaboratively with you to tailor a treatment that works for you, taking into consideration your background, goals, and present situation. I use an integrative approach, incorporating techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and other evidence-based approaches.
