As a therapist, I understand that the decision to pursue therapy can be a difficult one. Thus, my goal is to create a warm, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences, emotions, and behavioral patterns. I prioritize working at a pace that feels comfortable for each individual client as I understand that experiencing vulnerability or revisiting difficult experiences can be overwhelming. While everyone has the tools within themselves to flourish, life experiences can make it challenging to connect with those strengths and abilities. I see my role as a guide, helping clients create more meaningful, satisfying lives, as they envision it. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a dynamic and evidence-based approach that explores the intricate connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My therapeutic style can be described as conversational, warm, and exploratory. I have experience working with clients across all age groups, as they navigate a wide range of mental health and interpersonal challenges. Whether a client is seeking support for a specific issue or aiming for more broad personal growth, I am here to walk alongside them with empathy, compassion, and a commitment to genuineness.
