About My Clients

Firstly, I want to commend you for seeking therapeutic services! Whether you're looking to address depression, anxiety, trauma, stressors at work, relationship issues, family conflict, or life transitions you're taking an important step in the right direction. I have experience in working with adults with all of these presenting concerns, and know that you don't need to walk this path alone! I enjoy working with adults from all different cultural backgrounds, and I am an LGBTQ+ ally!

My Background and Approach

My background and clinical experience includes working with trauma such as sexual assault, childhood abuse, and intergenerational trauma within families. In addition to trauma work, I have experience in working with anxiety, depression, gender identity, LGBTQ+ issues, relationship issues, family conflict, and PTSD. As a clinician I believe that each client is unique, as are their goals in therapy. I have an eclectic therapeutic approach which I like to tailor to the needs of each client as is relevant to their goals. I work from a collaborative, strength-based frame, incorporating evidence based practices such as CBT, while integrating mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral interventions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that we have enough stress, pressure, and judgement to deal with on a daily basis. Therapy should be a haven, a place of solace where one can turn to for understanding, and gaining insight. I facilitate a safe, non-judgmental space so that clients may feel comfortable in sharing their vulnerable content. I wholeheartedly believe that healing exists within the therapeutic relationship, and it is important to me that you be heard and validated. My clients describe me as warm, non-judgmental, and empowering. It would be my privilege to go on this journey with you. If you are interested in potentially working together, please message me to set up a free consultation.
