About Me
I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to feel happier, more balanced, and more confident in their life. Even during difficult times, people have the strength and potential to create meaningful change. Sometimes all it takes is having the right support and someone walking alongside you.
In our work together, we’ll identify the stressors or challenges you may be facing and explore ways to reduce uncertainty and build healthier coping strategies. My goal is to help you gain a fresh perspective on your situation, clarify what happiness and fulfillment look like for you, and create a realistic plan to help you reach those goals.
My approach to therapy draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and crisis management techniques. I often combine these approaches so we can tailor therapy to your unique needs and experiences.
I strive to create a supportive, encouraging space where you can feel heard and understood. I want you to recognize your strengths and feel empowered to overcome challenges that may have once seemed out of reach.
