Over the past 17+ years, my role as a therapist, has been to be a guide. One who is taking you on a journey to emotional well-being and discovery of your authentic self. This self is the part of you not defined by your job, function or role. It's the blending of all your skills, talents and wisdom. Embracing your authentic self allows you to break free from roles other people may have placed you in. This means that what you say in life aligns with not only your words and thoughts but also your actions. Not being one's own authentic self can be at the root of anxiety, depression, frustration, anger and even relationships problems. My therapeutic approach is gentle, but direct. I do not believe that therapy is "one size fits all." Every person is unique, individual, autonomous, and complex. Therefore, I tailor my approach to fit the needs of each client using a blend of CBT, DBT, ACT and other supportive therapies. Open to working with adolescents 13 years and older.
