How I Help

In our work together I will use a person-centered approach that prioritizes your unique strengths and needs. Through this safe, accepting and non-judgmental process we will explore your unconscious beliefs, traumas, and attachment experiences in order to strengthen your coping strategies and uncover new possibilities.

The key to all successful therapeutic experiences is developing a secure therapeutic alliance. I will work with you to focus on your reactions and behaviors in the here and now. This provides an opportunity to practice different coping strategies and ensures that our work together translates into the rest of your life.

Each person contains within themself the keys to healing, growing and learning to lead a more fulfilling life. The goal of our work together is to help you uncover them.

More About Me

In my free time, I enjoy being outside as much as possible. Whether it’s going cycling, getting a meal from a food truck, listening to live music or just curling up under a tree with a good book, I try to live my life outside.
