My Approach to Helping
Hello, and welcome to the first step of your healing journey. Whether you are looking to work on life transitions, reduce anxiety, improve your overall mood, learn how to set healthier boundaries in relationships, are currently facing addiction-related issues, or want to process your trauma, I would be honored to help you through whatever chapter of your life you are currently on. I aim to meet people where they are at, while also challenging them to achieve their goals, build on their strengths, and gain insight into their current presenting problems through a warm, interactive, and supportive environment.
I work from an integrative approach to personalize the experience for each client, but I primarily work through a humanistic and trauma-informed lens. This allows me to utilize a nonjudgmental and empathetic stance. I specialize in working with trauma survivors, interpersonal relationship-based issues, anxiety issues, and substance misuse.
Although I am serious about my work, I invite humor and realness into my sessions when appropriate. I will not stare at you with a blank look on my face, or ask you "How does that make you feel?" over and over again. I believe that the connection and therapeutic relationship is an instrumental part of therapy.
So, if you are willing, I am waiting.
