I approach therapy through a critical lens to identify all factors impacting our mental health, including the systems under which we are operating, and the detrimental impacts these can have based on multiple identities.
During therapy you will have an open forum to discuss challenges contributing to your emotional wellness. Together, we will make connections to identify how thoughts, feeling, and behaviors influence each other and foster growth and wellness.

My approach to treatment is based on collaboration and a deep understanding of your unique experience. Treatment will be geared to you as the individual, using evidenced based techniques from CBT and Acceptance Commitment Therapy.
We will explore the functions of beliefs and behaviors that are no longer serving you. We will release trauma, anxiety and feelings stored in your body so that you can have a fulfilling life.

I have spent the past 15 years working in intensive treatment settings (eating disorders, substance use disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression and related-disorders). I incorporate DBT, IFS-informed, polyvagal theory and psychodynamic approaches.
work through self-criticism, perfectionism, & shame; shift automatic reactions into mindful & intentional choices; help you cope with pain, loss, anxiety, & trauma; And more effectively ask for what you want while saying no to what you don't want.

My goal is to provide a safe, authentic, and collaborative space for you to better understand yourself and your goals, determine what is working for you and what may not be, and for you to feel emboldened to approach life in new and meaningful ways!
Let me help YOU get unstuck. What I have found through my years of experience is that changes in life (i.e. both wanted and unwanted) can be difficult. I can help you navigate those bumps, so you start seeing the growth within YOU.

I focus on mindfulness and acceptance. That doesn't mean we sit idly by. It means we practice self-compassion, set realistic goals for where we are in life, and make time for self. This is essential for women, as caring for others can wear us down.
