I believe everyone is the expert on their own life story, but as we go through difficult life experiences, we find ourselves in need of support to help us navigate those life challenges. While those situations can feel overwhelming, they can also offer opportunities for healing, growth, and greater self-awareness. My goal is to offer a safe and supportive space where you feel empowered to process those life challenges, expand your experiences, build your personal strengths, and, through the process, help you gain coping techniques.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults, and am passionate about helping clients feel supported. I collaborate with my client to tailor to their individual needs. My therapeutic approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which help clients develop practical thinking and behavioral skills for managing difficult emotions, strengthening coping strategies, and improving communication. I work collaboratively with clients to help them build self-awareness while developing healthier thinking patterns.
