About My Clients

Perhaps you find yourself less than satisfied in one or two life areas (home, work/school, family, social), have a difficult decision to make, or are facing a new experience altogether. Maybe you have struggled with managing symptoms of depression, trauma, general or social anxiety? I will explore these thoughts and feelings with you in a non-judgmental space and provide appropriate psychoeducation.

My Background and Approach

Therapy works best when you are motivated to make change in your world. When you work with me, you will develop your ability to be self-aware and be empowered to make different choices. You will gain understanding and insight into your own thoughts and behaviors. I will provide education as needed, to ensure you make the best choices for yourself. Together we will create a custom treatment plan and I will use interventions that will match what you need.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone has the capacity to live their best life. Often we already know when something is "off" in our world and we know what we need but sometimes we need help to access/articulate those needs and/or "permission" to make the choices we already know we need to make. My approach to therapy is collaborative. Taking the first step toward change is the most difficult though I promise you do not have to go it alone.
