About

I strive to develop a therapeutic atmosphere where you feel engaged and supported. I will meet you with an approachable, authentic connection and collaborative experience working towards goals identified by you. I value self-compassion, finding balance in life, and feeling connected to those around you. My approach is holistic by focusing on the whole person including thoughts, emotions, self-reflection, physical health, past experiences, environment, and relationships. I have been working with adults and adolescents moving through a variety of life stage transitions. I aim to challenge and encourage individuals navigating life. I work with individuals using a relational therapy approach while integrating therapeutic interventions to meet your unique goals. My approach to therapy is also influenced by a trauma lens utilizing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) an approach to alleviate distressing memories, anxiety/panic responses, depression, negative cognitions.
