Treatment Philosophy::

Sometimes our life feels so heavy it is overwhelming. Our self-talk can become judgmental and harsh. Giving ourselves grace and taking back control of our inner dialogue can give us the strength to handle that heaviness through the use of healthy coping mechanisms. Therapy provides us the power to transform our self-talk, directly addressing that critical voice and allowing us to navigate through life with resilience and a positive self-view. 

As a clinician, I aim to integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches to address the individual and varying needs of each client. Each person comes with their unique struggles and strengths that impact the weight they feel. Know that when you’re working with me, you are entering a safe space. We will work together to lift the weight off of your shoulders. Let's begin your healing journey together and build your resilience so you can live your life knowing you are capable of anything!
