Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we need a space to process, heal, and grow. My approach to therapy is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, develop self compassion, and build tools to navigate life's challenges. I believe in a person-centered approach and treating everyone with respect, kindness and compassion. Together, we will explore your experiences, uncover patterns, and work together to create meaningful change. My sessions are 100% tele-health, offering flexible scheduling to meet your needs. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life changes, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, depression and other mood challenges, anxiety, and ADHD. My approach is rooted in ACT based interventions, while also incorporating elements of CBT as well as trauma informed perspectives like brain-spotting and narrative therapy for deeper healing. Therapy with me is an active process. Sometimes we will challenge unhelpful thoughts. Sometimes we will sit in reflection, and sometimes we'll focus on small actionable steps towards building the life you want for yourself. I would love to support you in your journey towards healing and self-discovery. Please reach out with questions!
