Clients I Work With

I provide therapy to adults, couples and adolescents who are facing difficult life challenges/conflicts. I support clients who desire to improve their overall well-being, mental health and self-confidence so they can find more ease and peace and happiness in their lives and relationships. Even when change doesn't seem possible, seeking support is a sign of strength and we can start with small steps in the right direction. Many clients express feelings and experiences with anxiety, depression, irritability, grief, past trauma and/or overwhelm. Emotional distress and complicated relationship dynamics can be exhausting. So can feeling numb, agitated or feeling like you have to put on a "happy" face or can't take care of daily tasks. Therapy is a place to explore all of these thoughts/emotions and learn positive coping tools - so that you can feel better in your everyday life.

Approach

My approach is multi-dynamic, providing a safe, honest and warm environment to explore and help you gain relief from your current struggles. My goal is to help you move through life's challenges by improving coping skills and supporting you in this difficult time. I use a combination of evidence based therapeutic models combining them to fit your specific needs and goals.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

Sessions are conversational and easy to access via secure video telehealth. I have been supporting clients in the mental health field for 20+ years and prior to this worked and volunteered in recreational and small business industries. I believe in authentic and compassionate communication as this helps support growth and healing. My perspective has been shaped through years of professional development and training, as well as personal experiences growing through life challenges/successes and the uncertainty I faced along my own journey. I believe we all can be resilient when supported and given the tools - and my goal is to guide (and nudge when necessary) you throughout your process and our work together.

More About My Practice

I have also worked with highly driven individuals, who often feel the pressure to perform and struggle in interpersonal relationships. This may be a young adult in college or just getting into the work force or a high functioning executive suite person. I have also specialized over the years supporting other mental health and healthcare/medical personnel.
