Great to meet you!

Therapy is a passage to understanding and discovering all aspects of yourself. I strive to create a comfortable space for you to self-explore while feeling safe and understood. Therapy is a collaborative process, a partnership between the client and the therapist and should remain respectful, trusting, and transparent. The therapy room is the space for you to be your complete authentic self, free of judgment and full of motivation and support.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe in creating a safe, collaborative, and non judgmental atmosphere during every session. This environment will focus on compassion, empathy and fostering motivation. You deserve to feel heard, accepted and understood. Together we will identify those unrealistic expectations, thoughts or worries that may be impacting you in your day to day life. My therapeutic approach includes Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and Behavioral activation techniques.

What you can expect from our first session

After each session my goal is for clients to leave feeling heard and understood. I am a therapist who believes in self-care and balance. I believe each client has the ability to live a fulfilling life when they receive the right support. You do not need to continue to feel overwhelmed and unmotivated, and you do not need to figure it out alone. Allow me to walk beside you on your journey.
