I believe that everyone has the innate capacity to heal when given the opportunity to process in a safe and supportive space. With a humanistic, strengths-based approach, I guide clients toward their goals in a direct yet compassionate way, allowing space for exploration, emotional processing, and the development of a trusted therapeutic relationship. My goal is to recognize all facets of a client’s experience, fostering meaningful perspective shifts and lasting healing. From a young age, I was a natural social butterfly, curious about others and their experiences. My own journey with mental health challenges led me to seek support, and through that process, I found healing and a profound appreciation for the power of support. As a therapist, I am honored to listen to my clients’ stories, empower their strengths, and serve as a trusted presence as they navigate life’s challenges and embrace their true selves without masking. My counseling style is trauma-informed, individualized, and paced to ensure comfort and readiness for each client. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals overcome the distress of their past and ease their anxieties about the future. I believe our childhood experiences play a significant role in shaping who we are, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their past and process their trauma. With unconditional positive regard, I gently reframe perspectives shaped by past experiences, fostering healing and growth. Because of this, my therapeutic approach is particularly well-suited for those seeking support for: ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence Trauma OCD Depression and Anxiety LGBTQIA+ Concerns Substance Misuse My treatment approach is eclectic and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I primarily use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma reprocessing, complemented by psychodynamic therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques. By personalizing the therapeutic process, we will engage in meaningful work that fosters self-discovery and cultivate greater self-compassion.
