Get curious around our stories, behaviors, and reactions to get to know ourselves better and make informed decisions about how we want to show up in the world and our relationships. We'll probably do some laughing together as well :)

I take a very conversational, collaborative approach. I try to stitch together things that already work for you with my knowledge on specific interventions/skills. This helps create strategies that are more likely to stick for you!
We will develop new insights and self awareness. This might include clarifying values, understanding relationship dynamics, or recognizing the impact past experiences have on current functioning. New insights provide direction for needed change.

My approach to therapy is client centered and begins with a conversation to get to know you, your history, identities, struggles and strengths. Therapy begins as you are able to trust me and the process and honestly share your thoughts and feelings.
Work collaboratively to change negative thoughts & habits, process trauma, develop healthier coping skills, or maybe you just need to talk about complex experiences in an affirming environment.

Trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress cause physical symptoms. I am well versed in CBT, DBT, and Trauma-based interventions to help my clients find relief from distressing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma.
Together we will engage in reviewing outcomes by sincerely acknowledging that our personal identities, experiences, and perspectives shape, in both positive and potentially problematic ways, our understanding and interactions with others.

My style is practical and reality-based meaning that there are plenty of advantageous routes to interact with systems of power, privilege, and oppression. I reflect on these truths in delivering my clinical talks, choosing readings, & assignments.
Explore your history and values, learn strategies for managing stress and setting healthy boundaries, work toward self-compassion and acceptance, explore your strengths, and build healthy supports.

I tailor my approach to my clients. Sometimes just having space to explore thoughts and feelings allows for new insights. Others may benefit from support and validation, gentle challenging, or practical tools to manage stress and process emotions.
