*Please Inquire: (updated 8/22)* When in session, I want to foster safe spaces where challenging conversations and vulnerable emotions can be explored and processed, and achievements are celebrated. When stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other emotional distress occurs, I meet my clients where they are at. Just because we can do something alone, does not mean we have to. Whatever stage of life you are in, let's work through those personal transitions and obstacles. Thus, I believe the best clinical relationships come when both of us are open, curious, and eager for the growth to come from session-to-session.
I incorporate a holistic approach to my therapeutic practice. I know that life is about balance and like to help my clients find the best balance for them. Thus, some topics of exploration include personal identity, goal setting, self-esteem, stress management, communication, emotional expression, and mindfulness.
I understand that it can be difficult to learn about a person through a post, so please take this as your invitation to reach out to me (email is easier and faster)! I have consistent weekly and biweekly availability, as well as sessions that differ week-to-week, please reach out to learn more! (Note: I do not have any openings 4pm and later at this time.)
