Message to clients

Most people are drawn to working with me because they are looking for a more active, creative, supportive, collaborative and results-oriented approach to therapy that provides them with concrete tools and skills to apply to and improve their everyday lives. Therefore, I focus on supporting my clients in gaining the necessary insight, skills and practical tools to live their best, healthiest and most authentic life by actively engaging with them throughout the process.

Holistic, integrative and creative in my approach, I believe that there is no "one size fits all" in therapy. Therefore, I aim to truly get to know and understand my clients in meaningful ways in order to create uniquely tailored and nontraditional therapeutic spaces that expand awareness and encourage emotional, behavioral and cognitive change. From my own experiences in therapy, I truly understand how scary and vulnerable the therapeutic process can be and how important it is to find the right fit, which is why I'm happy to provide a free 15 minute phone consultation to learn more about one another and to discuss how I may best support you! I truly believe that with the right guidance and support, you can learn to free your mind, and, in doing so, free your life. I'm ready when you are...
