About My Clients

You haven’t been feeling like yourself. You’re tired and fed up with letting life walk all over you. You know you’re meant for more than this, and you’re right! With a strengths-based, solution-focused approach, I empower my clients to flourish and fortify their lives, no matter what storm they endure. Together, we will break down the limiting beliefs that hold you back, heal the wounds that haunt you, and reconnect with your sense of joyful wonder.

My Background and Approach

I am experienced in working with adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, and life transitions. My approach is holistic in that I promote wellness in all areas of life, not just mental. I have helped individuals and families find balance, purpose, and healing by drawing on a variety of techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Art Therapy, and Ecotherapy (but don’t worry, it won’t feel clinical – it’s much like the warmth of a deep conversation!).
