I use compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based approach with all clients. I often work from a systemic-based lens, where I look at both internal and outside factors that may be contributing to client's experience.
Here's the deal – you're not alone and you are worthy of more. We all have struggles, but that doesn't mean we're hopeless. It is possible to reclaim your life, discover self, identify and resonate with your values, creating purpose and fulfillment.

I utilize a conceptualized approach focused on the here and now. I believe therapy doesn't have to mean cutting yourself open and bleeding out all of your vulnerabilities. Rather, is a navigating the pieces of your past and present.
We'll work to build a safe relationship in therapy so that you can experiment with new ways of handling difficult emotions, articulating boundaries, exploring vulnerability, understanding internal thought patterns and regulating body reactions.

I personalize my integrative approach, using Attachment-Focused EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Interpersonal Process as my primary approaches. I respect and incorporate many intersections of clients' identities and strengths.
Together, we will hold each other accountable. We will work on your therapy goals, which we create together. We will very regularly and insightfully check in with our progress, homework, successes and challenges to make your therapy most effective.

What makes me unique is I use constant feedback to keep track of our progress together. I let myself rise to this challenge, since alliance and feedback increase effectiveness in therapy. I use various eclectic therapeutic strategies.
