I'm certified in dialectical behavioral therapy and work with several approaches. We will work on coping skills that can help you better understand yourself and your needs. These skills can help you manage feelings rather than be controlled by them.
Together we will get you better acquainted with your emotions, and help you gain a sense of clarity and peace. I can help you unpack your negative thoughts, and empower you to create positive, affirming ones.

I take a trauma-informed, strengths-based, client-centered approach to my therapy work.
Resiliency and safety will come up often in our work. I will often maintain the perspective of "understanding" our setbacks without "excuse". Keeping resilience in mind allows for us to honor our survival while hoping for a more fulfilling life.

When we work together, I will consistently support you in seeing yourself with all of your parts. This means connecting your identities and values, and bridging your past to your present. I hope to honor your journey and resilience with each step.
