Hello and welcome.
If you are contemplating therapy, you have probably already decided that to some degree, you want to be having a different experience than the one that you are currently living. You want to feel less worried, less discouraged, less frustrated, less empty.
There is a special place in my heart for helping people who have been hurt by life events. Those that I work with have been impacted by adversity, loss, grief, and trauma. I help them find ways to manage anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, and stress and deal with emotional challenges from childhood and life transitions. Most of us want to bury or forget the hurtful memories, yet by sharing these stories, one can open the door to empowerment and healing. Through the process of psychotherapy, I seek to create a genuine and secure bond, a space of respect, acceptance, and safety for you. In this environment, you can start the work of examining the ways that you have struggled in order to better understand your own experience and begin to promote change.
One style of therapy does not work for everyone; therefore, I incorporate different methodologies and approaches to best serve you. Some of these may be rooted in cognitive- behavioral, mindfulness-based, dialectical-behavioral, strengths-based, and attachment theories. I also welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds including those who identify as LGBTQIA+. I am a strong believer that the key to growth, empowerment, and liberation in counseling begins with a strong relationship between you and your therapist. Therefore, I offer all new potential clients a free, 20-minute phone consultation. If you are searching for a therapist who will listen to and understand your story, who will help you put meaning to what happened and to understand the ways your experiences have effected who you are and how you move through the world I may be a good fit for you. Give me a call and let us begin today.
Outside of the office, I enjoy listening to and discovering new music, going for walks, reading various types of literature, watching the latest A24 film, and spending time with my loved ones when possible.
