Expertise

With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I work to support individuals, couples and families to heal and build strong and lasting foundations that support their mental health and well being. My journey across various clinical settings has provided me with a robust foundation of knowledge and experience. This wealth of experience empowers me to effectively connect with and support a diverse clientele, ensuring tailored and insightful guidance in therapy.

My therapeutic orientation is rooted in person-centered and strengths-based principles, where I collaborate closely with clients to tap into their inner wisdom and inherent strengths, facilitating profound connections with themselves and others. I approach treatment through a trauma-focused and attachment lens that understands the importance of past life events and how they impact you and the healing power of relationships.

I utilize the power of the therapeutic relationship to cultivate a safe and supportive space where you can freely share your story and progress toward healing and achieving goals at your own pace. With empathy and without bias, I'll support you in discovering and highlighting your strengths, while gently encouraging self-exploration and challenging you to delve deeply into your inner self, standing alongside you as a partner and teammate every step of the way.

Life Transitions and Personal Growth

Navigating personal growth and life transitions can be both exhilarating and daunting. It involves embracing change, discovering new facets of oneself, and adapting to evolving circumstances. Whether you're embarking on a journey of self-discovery, transitioning to a new phase of life, or facing unexpected challenges, it's essential to approach these experiences with openness and resilience. I will partner with you in building skills and a robust understanding of self to support you on your journey of self development and understanding.

Grief and Loss

Although grief is a part of life, it is one of the most difficult parts to navigate, especially alone. Our time together will support you in understanding and processing the feelings you are experiencing. I offer you a safe sanctuary where you can find solace and support. The journey of processing loss can be unpredictable and intricate. I am here to accompany you every step of the way, not to urge you to move past your grief, but to help you move forward while honoring and embracing your grief.

Anxiety and Depression

Symptoms of depression and anxiety while at times common create substantial barriers to experiencing life fully and pursuing the lifestyle you desire. However, change and relief is not only possible but attainable. Through our work together, you can explore the roots of your struggles, develop coping strategies, and cultivate resilience, empowering you to lead a more fulfilling and balanced life. Your healing can start today!

ADHD

I will utilize a combination of strategies tailored to each client's specific needs, aiming to improve functioning, manage symptoms, and enhance overall quality of life. I will support you in better understanding and managing your symptoms, while developing effective coping strategies, and improving functioning and well-being in various areas of life, including academics, work, relationships, and daily activities.

Attachment-Based Therapy

This work will focus on understanding and addressing attachment-related issues. Our work together will be rooted in attachment theory, which emphasizes the importance of early relationships and your life experiences and how they shape and impact each individuals' emotional and relational patterns throughout life. The goal is to promote healing and growth by fostering healthier and more secure attachments, leading to greater emotional well-being and more satisfying relationships.

Trauma Informed

The experiences we've encountered in the past often leave a profound imprint on our present lives, and the effects of trauma can be particularly overwhelming. However, you don't have to face these challenges on your own. Trauma-focused therapy offers a supportive environment where you can safely explore and process the emotions and repercussions of your past experiences at your own pace. With compassionate guidance, you can gradually navigate through the complexities of your trauma, gaining insight, healing, and empowerment along the way.
