I enjoy partnering with you to understand your unique goals and how we can work together to achieve them. I want to learn about both your strengths as well as your challenges. I have experience working with individuals dealing with anxiety and depression, as well as survivors of trauma. I believe that a strong working relationship is needed in order to achieve the goals of therapy, and encourage individuals to meet and see if I am a good fit for them. My experience is working with adolescents as well as adults.

Therapy is a non-judgmental space to grow. While listening is key, I also want to know which new tools you want to develop. These might include improved communication techniques, developing adaptive thoughts, assertiveness and increasing self awareness in the moment. Some therapeutic techniques I use include CBT, EMDR & more from therapist's alphabet soup!
I have been a therapist for over fifteen years, which means that I'm experienced to know what has worked for others, but not too old to understand how Instagram and Venmo work. I respect the challenge that starting therapy can be, and hope to offer a compassionate response to ease the process. I look forward to hearing from you.
