Whether you are struggling with sadness, worry, work-related stress, substance use issues, relationship difficulties, or emotions resulting from traumatic experience(s), I offer a supportive ear and a nonjudgmental environment in which we can work together to identify and implement strategies to move you toward your goals. I strive to assist clients in fully exploring their emotions in an environment characterized by compassion, acceptance, and safety. I provide evidence-based therapy, that is, therapy that has been demonstrated to be effective by the best available research evidence. In our work together, we collaborate to identify some of the unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns that have prevented you from being your best self. I rely on a client-centered approach to care, recognizing that each individual has unique needs, challenges and strengths. I take a holistic view of each person and consider the physical, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual components of well-being. I feel strongly that connection with values - those things in life that are the most important to us - facilitates growth and promotes satisfaction. I am particularly interested in partnering with my clients as they seek to better understand and apply their values. Through the process of therapy, my clients develop insight into the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building skills needed to make lasting change.
