My Approach

When thinking of who I connect the best with, I believe I connect best with adolescents and adults who are trying to figure out life. Whether that means understanding their emotions, overcoming addiction issues, managing codependency, managing anger issues, or trying to rebuild self-esteem. I am a good fit for those who are curious about change, or those who might be a bit lost but are ready to explore what change could look like. I am passionate about helping those with depression and anxiety and especially those who are dealing with addiction or anger management issues. I am ready to meet you where you are, and walk alongside you while we discover what avenues are best inline with who you are and who you want to be.

Your Therapy Experience

I aim to create a safe and judgment free environment. I may not always be able to say that I have experienced the same thing you have, but I will be able to empathize with your experience. I aim to start each session off by grounding ourselves in the way that works best for you. That can be talking about how the week has been, doing breathing exercises, meditation, or jumping right into our session. My goal is to not direct you to where I think you should be. You know your life better than I, so my goal is to listen to what you need, and follow along with you while we journey through this process together.

More About Me

I can still remember the first time I knew i wanted to be a therapist. I was doing my placement at an adult rehabilitation center and listening to everyone stories. The most common aspect of all of their stories, is the wish that they had seen someone earlier as to not be in the position they were in currently. I wanted to be that person, from adolescence to adult, I want to be the person who can help you in making the rest of your life what you want it to be and help you find the tools necessary to do that.

As a therapist, i am driven by my passion, my own natural curiosity, and my aspiration to hold onto hope for others, until they can have hope for themselves.

On a personal note, outside of therapy I love to be out in nature just sitting and observing, watching dramatic reality shows, spending time with my family, friends, and pets, and trying to slow down a bit each day.

It’s okay if youre hesitant, unsure or even nervous- many people are and that’s okay, I am here to help. We can schedule in a free consultation/ phone call where we can meet for a bit and see if I’m the right fit for you.
