About My Clients

My clients are experiencing major life transitions and feeling overwhelmed. Transitional periods such as adolescence, finishing or starting school , forming adult relationship, entering the workforce, living independently or with a partner, marriage, parenting and even divorce can leave you feeling anxious, depressed and just plain stuck.

My Background and Approach

The way that I am able to help you break through this feeling and realize a life that you are happy with is two fold. First we address where you are stuck and how it is effecting you getting to where you ultimately want to be. This approach is solution focused and involves techniques to manage symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as strategies to improve time management, motivation and productivity to get started on your new path with a confident and positive outlook. Next we can dig a little deeper to find unhealthy patterns, negative self talk and any unresolved trauma that may be a barrier to significant and lasting progress in you life. Resolving these deeper issues will not only assist in your current struggle but allow you to improve your self image, mental health and relationships going forward.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that therapy should be available, affordable and approachable for everyone. Furthermore I want my clients to feel relaxed, comfortable and have fun in therapy. While everyone's struggle is different a key aspect of therapy is always building a secure trusting relationship. I like to be transparent and at times humorous with my clients. I want you to feel comfortable and look forward to our sessions. I also believe in maintaining a diverse and inclusive practice that celebrates people from all communities.
