Starting therapy can often feel overwhelming, especially when we are at our lowest and most stressed. I recognize that the connection we share with our therapist is crucial, which is why I value a therapeutic alliance built on trust and acceptance. I aim to create a welcoming environment that utilizes storytelling and humor while creating space for you to be challenged and engage in self-exploration and reflection. As a psychodynamic and relational psychotherapist, I approach my work with curiosity and empathy, recognizing that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors all serve a unique and meaningful purpose. Through an explorative lens, we will work on understanding how past experiences, relationships, and environments impact your daily life. You may also find that through our time together we will utilize skills and techniques found in CBT, DBT, and ACT. I strive to honor client collaboration throughout therapy. With this in mind, I will be sure to place it at the forefront of our work to ensure the best quality of care. While therapy can have its challenging moments, I will also make sure we take time to step back and celebrate your success! I look forward to hearing from you.
