I often work to help clients change their relationship with their emotions from one of avoidance to acceptance. Using an attachment lens, I see value in attending to emotional injuries while also attending to the influence of early experiences.

I strive to be culturally responsive in my work, and place a great emphasis on developing a strong, authentic connection with my clients. I highly value collaboration and believe treatment should ultimately be adapted for each unique individual.

Work to identify strategies and techniques that can begin to offer some relief. We will also begin to alter problematic/less functional narratives that negatively impact your life. Self-compassion is a skill that I work on with almost every client.
