If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, questioning life or hoping for clarity, I am here to help. Taking the first step towards change is not an easy one, but a courageous one. I believe that most people are capable of change given the opportunity and motivation to do so. I pride myself on meeting my clients where they are at on their journey and working as a team to help clients grow, heal and transform.
I have special training and interests in working with people in all stages of life, from teens through older adults on issues of anxiety, trauma, depression, IVF, pre and post-childbirth, and men/women issues, especially identity-building during times of transition. I can relate to the struggles of balancing family, work, relationships, and time for oneself.
As a mental health therapist who has worked for many years alongside teachers within the school system, I have a deep appreciation for the work that they do. I have seen the effects of teacher stress and burnout firsthand and feel honored to work with teachers who are coping with the additional stressors associated with educating students at this time. Teachers-are-anxious-and-overwhelmed. It is important to support teachers and the work they are doing.
My calm demeanor and collaborative approach support a safe and non-judgmental space for growth and healing. I specialize in Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Mindfulness-Based therapeutic strategies. I utilize a client-centered approach to therapy, as it creates a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. I offer a safe environment where my clients are free from moral judgment and other biases that may hinder personal development.
