About

I am not currently accepting new clients. I believe strongly in the importance and power of the therapeutic relationship and employ a collaborative approach that empowers clients to explore their potential and gain the tools they need to thrive. I strive to create a warm, judgment-free space in my sessions and use a variety of techniques in order to guide individuals through their unique struggles. Clients often come to me with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and/or relational challenges, and I help them process, reflect, tap into their emotions, problem solve, and build or repair their sense of competence and confidence. I use Person-Centered Therapy and Strengths-Based Therapy to engage clients in reflection around their strengths, resources, and coping skills as well as develop new lenses with which to see themselves and others. I utilize several other modalities tailored to the client's needs and context, because therapy is not one-size-fits-all.
