Life is hard, and we're all in this together. I know, it’s a little cliche, but cliches exist for a reason! The approach I bring to my work is one of compassionate curiosity in which we work together to develop a therapy that works for you. Therapy is only as effective as the strength and authenticity of the relationship you develop with your counselor. I incorporate elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness and existential therapy, but largely rely on the development of our relationship to inform our work. These are stressful times and I strive to be a fellow traveler as we move forward. I have experience working with teens and adults struggling with anxiety and depression, trauma, and grief or loss. It's my belief that we are all affected, but never fully defined, by past experience. Therapy can help us better understand our past and current selves as we grow more comfortable with our emotions and pursue our futures in a more mindful way It's hard to get a feel for someone in 1000 characters. Reaching out for help can be scary, and picking up the phone can be especially intimidating.
