My Approach to Therapy

I utilize a combination of strategies to help combat the nuisance voice in my head. The key goal is to get out of your mind and back into living your life with passion and a sense of purpose. I also like to focus on breaking the unhelpful coping patterns that may have been established years ago. Kindness and compassion are my fundamental values. I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to learn the principles of being in the present moment while also developing techniques to build self-acceptance and self-compassion.

My Practice & Services

The search for a counselor or therapist can be overwhelming. I aim to present a clear and comprehensive picture of my services and approach to therapy. I strive to create an environment where my clients feel accepted, safe, and understood. You are the expert in your life. My job is to make sure that you are utilizing all your expertise. Are you struggling with a busy mind that won't shut off? Does it seem like the negative, worrisome voice in your head has total control? Are you struggling with feelings of helplessness or hopelessness? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you needed help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have made the right choice by being here. I know seeking help can be hard. Together, we can work to equip you with the necessary tools to help you face and overcome your challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, identity issues, relationship issues, anger, or recovery struggles, you must know you don't have to be alone in this journey. I have the experience to help you achieve your goals, overcome these struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I understand that no two individuals are the same, and we tailor our sessions together to address challenges unique to you. We will work together to understand the root cause of your struggles and address them with long-lasting strategies, helping you get closer to the life you've always wanted. If you're ready to work towards the life you've always wanted, I'm ready when you are. Contact me today, and let's get to work.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

I have lived experience in coping with emotional instability, depression, mood swings, and anxiety. Therapists are people too, and I believe that my experience makes me incredibly useful in connecting with clients who have struggled with similar issues. I can't guarantee that what has worked for me will work for you. Still, I'm confident that my understanding, empathy, and lived experience can help you feel seen, understood, and validated for having mood disorders that occur inside you.

Groups I Work With

My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic, which means we’ll work together to understand the underlying patterns and emotional experiences that shape your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This process involves thoughtful reflection and compassionate introspection, gently exploring how past relationships, early experiences, and unconscious beliefs may still be influencing your present-day life. I believe many of the struggles we face—whether in our relationships, emotions, or sense of self—stem from unresolved experiences and internalized narratives that we may not even be fully aware of. By bringing these patterns into conscious awareness in a safe and supportive environment, we can begin to loosen their hold and create space for new, healthier ways of being. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable to you, cultivating curiosity and self-compassion along the way. Healing happens not just through insight, but through feeling understood and supported as you navigate this inner journey.
