The Clients I Serve
My therapy speaks to young adults, adults, couples, families, and even therapists transitioning into different life seasons and struggling with finding normalcy and balance. It is for the client who is grieving a loss, anxious about the unknown, and feeling stressed in the present. It is for the client who pours into others but may find their cup is empty, too. It speaks to the client who longs to regain control of their life and be reminded they are enough. It is for the client who desires deeper connection, intimacy, and communication with their partner. If this is you, being your therapist would be a privilege.
My Approach
The goal is to empower you to speak your truth to healing, build emotional resiliency, and strive to be your best selves. In addition, to talk therapy, I integrate a variety of modalities that help you explore the deeper parts of yourself. Treatment can be intimidating and unfamiliar for some, but rest assured you are in a safe space, free from judgment, where compassion meets authenticity and truth. I facilitate your growth and offer practical next steps to greater self-awareness and change.
