My Approach

It is my goal as a therapist to empower and inspire you towards healing by creating a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.

Getting to know you at a pace that feels right for you will help me to understand what is at the core of what you are struggling with. Learning about your strengths and resources as well as where you are stuck and why you are stuck, I will stay engaged, listen and reflect back.

By working together to I hope to uncover unresolved areas that inform your experience in the present and support you in the process of change.

My hope is that you will see a shift in your responses to prior triggers and in your ability to self-regulate.

I am here to support you as you move towards a more balanced and integrated self.
