Have you found yourself experiencing feelings of uncertainty, stress, worry, anger, or fear? Strong emotions such as these can consume our thoughts and make daily life challenging. When we identify these emotions and develop coping strategies, it can help make the challenges we face in life feel a little less heavy and overwhelming. I believe that each of us has the capacity to change our way of thinking, achieve person-centered goals, and grow/heal through the process of therapy.
With several years in the field of social work, I bring knowledge and expertise working with individuals, couples, and families through my professional tenure in long-term care, child welfare, domestic violence, and my personal lived experiences. I specialize in helping individuals with grief and loss, chronic pain, LGBTQ+, anxiety and depression, complicated family dynamics, generational trauma, religious trauma, life transitions, developing coping skills, and regulating emotions.
My therapeutic approach includes a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I am committed to creating a space that is welcoming, compassionate, and supportive, allowing my clients the ability to freely share their thoughts and feelings. Utilizing a person-centered approach, you as the client are in the driver’s seat; my practice is tailored to each client’s individual goals. I would be happy to work with you as you take the first steps in your mental health journey. I encourage you to reach out so we can work together on your path toward healing
