- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
Breaking cycles and fostering healing are at the heart of my therapeutic approach. My passion lies in helping individuals break free from long-standing emotional patterns, process difficult life experiences, and reclaim their sense of self. I will help you explore life experiences and beliefs that have shaped how you see yourself, others and the world. We will work together to help you gain deeper insight in order to identify and address harmful thought patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back.
I see therapy as a collaborative process, where you are the expert in your life. Through developing a safe, therapeutic relationship, I seek to ensure you feel seen, heard and valued. Whether you are feeling stuck, experiencing a crisis, or seeking to cope with life’s obstacles, I aim to provide a safe space to create the change you desire and truly thrive.
I utilize a flexible treatment approach, tailoring my methods to best meet your needs and goals. Patients often express deep gratitude for feeling empowered in making personal changes. They have acquired new skills, improved relationships, gained a sense of self-worth and autonomy, and built resiliency to cope with life’s challenges.
