Nice to meet you
I specialize in anxiety, depression, life changes, ADHD, feeling stuck, relationships, and trauma. I use an approach that is sensitive to each client’s situation while being fair to all parties involved. I enjoy exploring different modalities with my clients and adapt my approach so that every treatment plan is unique. My style blends DBT, CBT, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, always adjusting to meet what is needed in the moment.
