Therapy can and will look different for every individual. Therapy is hard work, and also fun and rewarding. My approach to therapy is evidence-based and tailored to your needs and goals, which may change and pivot over the course of therapy.

I use evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy. I strive to provide interventions that are non-judgmental and culturally competent.
