One of the most important aspects of therapy is the relationship with your Therapist. My approach is humanistic, warm and compassionate. My primary goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, better understand yourself and navigate the changes and challenges in your life. As a social worker, I understand that each person is shaped by their unique environment and experiences.
As we work together collaboratively, I will take time to understand you as a whole person. My approach to your therapy will be tailored to your individual needs and may include Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MB-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), supportive psychotherapy, and trauma-informed approaches. I have experience in both private practice and community mental health settings helping clients navigate a range of challenges, including trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, work/life balance, and more.
As a therapist and a person, I understand that life is hard. I feel honored to hear the concerns that clients bring to our sessions and I enjoy helping clients find a balance of taking care of themselves while also caring for their loved ones. Many of the clients I work with are mothers, wives, caregivers, and wear many different hats focusing on the needs of others, which often leads them to put aside their own needs, health and overall wellbeing. I recognize in life one can feel like there is not enough time for yourself and I am here to help support your path to self-care and prioritizing yourself.
I am also passionate about supporting young adults and college students navigating life’s transitions. I understand how challenging it can be to balance relationships, school, work, and I am here to help you find your footing. Together, we’ll explore your strengths and figure out what path feels right for you. I know making big decisions about your future can be overwhelming, and my goal is to create a safe space where you can discover what you truly want your life to look like.
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to feeling whole again.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, trying new recipes, walking trails, exploring new coffee shops and binge watching!
