What to Expect

At Resilient Edge Therapy, individual therapy is a space where you can slow down, unpack what’s weighing on you, and make sense of the experiences that have shaped you. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in compassion. You set the pace — and together, we’ll focus on what feels most important for your healing and growth.

As your therapist, I’m not here to “fix” you. I’m here to walk alongside you as you learn new ways to cope, communicate, and connect with yourself and others. Sometimes that means processing painful emotions or past trauma; other times, it means building concrete tools to manage stress, improve relationships, and strengthen your sense of self.

My Therapeutic Approach

My work is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and evidence-driven. I draw from a range of approaches that allow me to adapt our work to your specific needs, values, and goals. You can expect therapy that balances structure with flexibility — rooted in research, yet deeply personal and attuned to your lived experience.
