It can be tempting to try to "figure it out" on your own or feel like you don't have a significant enough reason to come to therapy. I've heard this many times before. You deserve to be here as much as anyone else.

I tend to take what we call a "person-centered approach" to therapy which basically means that I trust you to make the best decisions for yourself. But don't worry, I will guide you along that process. I work best with clients motivated for growth!
Together we will collaborate to meet goals to help you be the best version of you. To meet these goals, we will use tools from multiple evidenced based approaches; Gottman Couples Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy as a few of the options.

I hope to walk alongside you in your healing journey as you process trauma and learn new ways to cope. Trauma doesn't have to define us, we are stronger than we know! I would love to discuss your goals further, and help to support you.
