I believe one role of a therapist is to help clients find ways to become the version of themselves they truly desire to be. Every person already possesses a unique set of skills and base of knowledge stemming from their life experiences and personality. People are often more resilient and capable of change than they realize, and it is my goal to help clients identify personal strengths, learn new skills, and create meaning, peace, healing, and change. We all need help sometimes, and there is no shame in asking for guidance or seeking a safe space to process the many unexpected things life can bring. I see clients 10+ years old, and I am skilled in treating anxiety, stress, trauma, eating disorders, grief, relationship problems, anger management, and a variety of other issues. I utilize an integrative therapeutic approach so each client receives the treatment best suited for them. Every person is unique; so should be their treatment. Everyone can benefit from therapy, and I believe it is important to erase the stigma surrounding mental illness. Asking for help and challenging yourself to make changes takes great strength, and I feel privileged to get to do my job. I am passionate about helping people become healthier and build a pathway in life that is fulfilling for them.
