Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or residual symptoms of a traumatic experience? Do you find yourself using substances or other harmful coping strategies to make it through the day? Do your emotions seem to overwhelm and guide your day-to-day interactions? Are your relationships with others stressful and unfulfilling? These can be debilitating issues that can hinder our ability to move through life with ease, serenity, and peace. I believe that these struggles are not life sentences, and growth and self-actualization can be achieved through cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes.
With a trauma-informed and -sensitive approach, I create a nonjudgmental, empathic, and healing space for clients in my care. I generally employ cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies in concert with mindfulness-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) interventions. I also find great joy in teaching clients about mental health and wellness.
I believe that an effective therapeutic relationship begins with authentic and genuine connection. When you meet me, you'll get the real me, not a facade. I would be honored to offer this connection to you in your time of need with warmth, empathy, compassion, understanding, all backed by clinical knowledge and know-how.
