My Ideal Client

As a clinician at Abri Psychotherapy, I work with individuals navigating life transitions, including starting a new career, moving, entering or ending relationships, becoming a parent, or adjusting to other significant changes. I also support people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and other challenging life circumstances.

My Approach to Helping

My approach is relationship based and highly collaborative. I believe you’re the expert in your own experiences, and our work together will focus on identifying and working toward goals that are rooted in your personal values. I’ll support you in making changes over time that are both manageable and meaningful and that enable you to live increasingly in alignment with what you value most. I strive to provide a therapeutic space that feels safe and affirming but is also honest and challenges you to grow. I’m also a strong believer in the benefits of not taking ourselves too seriously and in humor and lightheartedness as a means of coping with life’s many challenges. Finally, I operate from a strengths-based perspective, meaning that I recognize that every individual possesses strengths which we’ll explore together and figure out how they can be applied to your current situation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Maybe you've been holding it together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside. Perhaps anxiety has become exhausting, depression has left you feeling disconnected from yourself, or a major life transition has made it hard to find your footing. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and it's completely normal to feel uncertain about taking that first step. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking to understand yourself more deeply, therapy can provide a space to build insight, strengthen resilience, and create lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with curiosity, authenticity, and compassion while helping you move toward the life you want, I'd be honored to connect with you and see whether we're a good fit.
