Pursuing therapy takes courage, and it can feel intimidating to enter into a new space, without a clear sense of direction. I believe that the trust and relationship between us is the first step to a successful therapeutic environment. It is important to me that we take the time to build and foster a collaborative, safe, and supportive dynamic for you to explore, heal, and grow. Through our work together, I hope to support you in exploring what makes life worth living, building insight, developing creative coping skills, enhancing connection with others, and instilling self-compassion into your life. I use an integrative and holistic approach, pulling from evidence-based practices to create a highly personalized, healing-centered approach which builds upon your strengths. I was also recently certified in CBASP to treat chronic depression. I appreciate your bravery in trusting me to support you through your growth and healing, whether this is your first experience with therapy, or your hundredth! I encourage you to reach out with any thoughts that come to mind as you begin this journey!
