What You Can Expect

Honesty and Transparency
 I believe in being straightforward and transparent with my clients, offering honest reflections and feedback. This encourages open dialogue and promotes authenticity in our therapeutic relationship.

Warmth and Understanding
I approach my clients with genuine empathy, seeking to understand their experiences without judgment. I strive to create a welcoming space where clients feel accepted, valued, and truly seen.

Compassion and Support
I hold a deep sense of compassion for my clients and provide unwavering encouragement and validation as they navigate challenges and pursue growth. I walk alongside them through their journey, offering support every step of the way.

My approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory (exploring underlying patterns/dynamics from earlier life that may be affecting our present selves). However, I understand that therapy is not a one size fits all, and recognize the value of integrating other therapeutic approaches to meet your needs. I tend to pull from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and client-centered therapy.

Specialities

  • Anxiety is having a constant worry that won't go away, even when there's no clear reason to be anxious. It's a persistent feeling of tension, nervousness, and unease that can interfere with daily life.

  • Substance abuse occurs when a person uses drugs or other substances in a way that is harmful to their health, well-being, or social functioning. It involves a pattern of excessive use (usually to feel better or escape from problems), despite the negative consequences it may cause.

  • Depression is more than just feeling sad - it's like having a dark cloud hanging over you that just won't go away. It may feel like you're stuck in a deep, dark hole and you can't find a way out. You might feel hopeless, empty, or numb inside, like you're just going through the motions of life.

  • Disordered eating is when your relationship with food and eating becomes unhealthy and starts to interfere with your life. It's more than just dieting or trying to eat healthy – it's when food and eating habits start to control you.

  • Interpersonal relationship conflict happens when there are disagreements or tensions between people who are close to each other, like family members, friends, or partners. It's like hitting a roadblock in your relationship that makes it hard to connect and communicate effectively. You may be feeling frustrated or angry with someone you care about because you feel they don't understand you or you can't seem to see eye-to-eye.

  • Issues with self-worth may be present if you don't feel good about yourself or doubt your value as a person. It's like having a little voice inside your head that tells you you're not good enough, no matter what you do. Self-worth issues can make it hard to believe in yourself or pursue your goals because you're afraid of failing or being judged by others.

  • Generalized stress is that feeling of being overwhelmed or on edge most of the time, even when there's no specific reason. It's like carrying around a heavy backpack full of worries and tension that you just can't shake off. Generalized stress can make it hard to relax or enjoy life because you're constantly worried about what might go wrong or what you need to do next.
