Does the world feel like too much to deal with right now? You know you have the stressors in your life, but should it really be THIS hard? What happened to the old you? How do you get to the life that you want to have, and to be the best version of yourself within it? You've already taken the first big step to get there. I know starting or returning to therapy can be an intimidating and overwhelming task. I'm glad you're here, doing this for you. With me, you can expect a steady and calm approach to therapy. I use a strengths-based, non-judgmental, empathetic, and empowering approach to treatment. Everyone is capable, resilient, and a whole human being. We all need a little help and support sometimes to listen to that wise voice inside of us that knows what to do. My approach to therapy is adapted to your individual personality and needs, and my goal is to help you work towards yours, or to figure out what you want your goals to be! I use motivational interviewing, person-centered, solution focused, DBT, and CBT informed approaches to support teens and adults in working towards their individual goals and navigating unique life challenges to build their idea of a life worth living. Therapy with me is truly a collaborative process. I have the training and experience, and you are the expert on your own life. You have survived everything that has happened to you to make it to where you are today, and I'm here to support you in getting to where you want to be. Let's chat!
