Life can be unpredictable and going through those valleys can feel overwhelming and lonely. I want you to know I'm glad you're here and have decided to give therapy a try. I am committed to creating a warm, open, emotionally safe and non-judgmental space for you to come and be your most authentic self. A space where you can drop your shoulders and truly lay down the weight of your traumas, anxiety, hopelessness, relational conflict, low self-esteem, PTSD, grief/loss, and every other personal issues you choose to explore. I will gently walk alongside you to support and guide you to finding relief from those painful experiences.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide if having telehealth sessions will be appropriate for you to meet your specific needs/goals. I will engage with you from a strengths-based perspective to highlight your resilience and how far you've come. I often use mindfulness-based stress reduction practices in the treatment interventions I use to include CBT and DBT
