Therapy offers a chance to learn new ways to cope with emotionally charged life challenges & process the things in life that keep us stuck. In our sessions, I'll help you identify & challenge self-defeating patterns that leave you stuck, unsatisfied, & less than your best. We'll develop a plan based on your needs & what you want out of therapy. I offer a safe & supportive, nonjudgemental space for you to reflect, process, & grow. My approach is strength based, interactive, & collaborative, & I believe that authenticity, respect, & a sense of humor all contribute to a strong therapeutic relationship. My specialties include LGBTQ+ issues, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, food issues, ADHD, gender issues, relationships, & life transitions. I typically use an integrative approach, using relevant techniques from CBT, TF-CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing & DBT, based on my client's needs & goals for treatment. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling, joy filled life by asking for help. Taking that first step towards change isn't easy, but if you're ready to take that step & face life's challenges head on, I am here to support & empower you through your journey.
