My Approach to Helping

My clients are adults and teens navigating life's challenges like relationships, unresolved trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress management, or exploring identity and values. They aren’t looking for a quick fix but know something needs to change and need a little help figuring out what and how. Being a human is hard sometimes. You don’t have to figure it out alone! Therapy allows us to build a relationship where over time we explore your strengths, your struggles, and your relationships to uncover what’s underneath the surface. My goal is to help you discover your own power to grow and find connection and purpose.

Life transitions can be especially stressful. Whether you're a student, young professional, parent, or partner, I understand the unique pressures you face. I empower my clients to develop healthy coping mechanisms, boundaries, and self-care routines to reduce feelings of distress and overwhelm. I take an eclectic approach, leveraging different theories and modalities to best meet your unique needs. Do you like structure and prefer when your therapist assigns you “homework”? Great! Does that sound terrible to you? Great! Not sure what you need? We’ll figure it out together. Part of my job is helping you discern between what is uncomfortable and an opportunity for growth, and what is a bad fit for you.

More Info About My Practice

Whatever your reason for looking into therapy, I’m glad that you are here. I understand that choosing to start therapy can feel overwhelming and vulnerable. It’s crucial to feel like your therapist is a good fit for you, so I offer free brief consultation calls to discuss your goals for therapy and my approach. If my approach sounds like a fit for you, I invite you to reach out to me by phone or email for a free 15-minute consultation. Sessions are held face to face or via telehealth. I look forward to connecting with you!

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I became a therapist after a career in communications because I am passionate about the importance of human connection. I see therapy as a puzzle, where we both come to it with our own perspectives, sort through the pieces with curiosity and humor, to build your fulfilling and meaningful life (the big picture)! The power of simply connecting with another person in a safe, supportive space can be transformational, causing a ripple effect of growth beyond the therapy office into the rest of your life. That's what I aim to create for my clients: a space where we connect human-to-human, fostering a deeper understanding of your struggles, your relationship with yourself, and how you connect with others.
