My Approach
I believe that resiliency and self-awareness can be developed in a way that can help us better cope with life’s inevitable challenges. My approach is grounded within a compassionate, empathetic and a non-judgmental stance. I aim to create a safe and trusting dynamic with my clients. To do this, I encourage collaborative decision making around how I can best support their needs and concerns through the process of therapy. Through enhancing one’s connection with their authentic selves, this can ultimately provide someone with more control over their presenting concern(s).
​
I have been trained to use various best practice therapeutic approaches. These can be adaptively used to best support each individuals concerns and goals.

How do we get started?
I understand how meeting with a new therapist can be scary or nerve wracking for some people. My initial focus is to create a relational dynamic that is comfortable, informal and a safe space. During our first session, I encourage all new clients to ask me questions at any point, and let me know if there is something they do not want to share. In order to gain an better understanding of who you are and what brought you to seek support, I will likely have some related questions to further explore the same. After this intake phase, I will often present some best practice therapeutic treatment options to help address your presenting concern(s).
