Great to meet you!

It is not uncommon that you may be going through a difficult period of adjustment or often feel weighed down by anxiety or depression. I can help work on your healing process by addressing deeper rooted psychological traumas and helping you feel empowered. I have worked with diverse populations that are facing a variety of life stressors, such as difficulties with anxiety, depression, adjustments, grief, intimacy, interpersonal relationships, career changes, personal growth, and self-esteem.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of modalities through an integrative approach, which will depend on your presenting problem. This includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution- Focused therapy, Mindfulness and Positive Psychology, as well as Person-Centered Therapy. I take a very collaborative approach with my clients and will always encourage you to be honest throughout the treatment process
