Areas of Focus
High-Achievers
As a collaborative therapist who has worked with many self-identified "high-achievers", I have gained an understanding of the unique pressures and expectations that can come with high achievement. In our work together, I seek to provide a supportive space where you can address the challenges of maintaining balance amidst a demanding career, academic, or personal life. Whether you're struggling with perfectionism, burnout, or the fear of not meeting your own high standards, my approach is directed with the goal to help you navigate these issues with compassion and clarity. By focusing on your individual experiences and goals, we collaborate and look for effective strategies that align with your values and aspirations. My aim is to support you in achieving not just professional success, but also a fulfilling and balanced life where you can thrive both personally and professionally.
Male Mental Health
As a person-centered therapist, a focus of my practice is addressing the unique mental health challenges that men often face. Understanding that societal expectations and traditional norms can impact emotional expression and well-being, I work to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where men feel comfortable exploring their experiences. Whether dealing with issues related to stress, identity, work-life balance, or the pressure to conform to certain masculine ideals, I seek to support, respect, and validate each individual's struggles. Through collaboration and exploration, I aim to support you in breaking down barriers to emotional openness, build resilience, and develop effective coping strategies. My goal is to empower men to embrace their full range of emotions and navigate their mental health journey with more confidence and authenticity.
LGBTQ+ Mental Health
As a person-centered and affirming therapist, I offer a compassionate and inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore their unique experiences and challenges. Recognizing the diverse and often complex issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community, I strive to provide a supportive environment for you to feel understood and validated. Whether you are navigating identity, coming out, or seeking to strengthen your self-esteem and relationships, my approach emphasizes collaboration around your personal journey. Together, we work to build resilience, foster self-acceptance, and develop strategies tailored to your individual needs. My goal is to empower you to embrace your true self and achieve a sense of well-being and fulfillment.
My Approach
In my practice, I value the uniqueness of each individual. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with compassion and empathy, fostering a collaborative journey towards healing and self-discovery.
​
I strive to embody the values of empathy, unconditional positive regard, boundary setting, and congruence (being real, authentic, genuine) with my clients. I believe allowing people to be themselves all the while responding authentically fosters connection, depth, and genuineness – important ingredients for healthy relationships.
