My goal and hope in working together is two-fold. On the short term, I'd like to help you improve your mood, instill hope, and to ease any symptoms you may be experiencing related to depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and so forth.

My theoretic approach is based on the belief that you are the expert of your own life and is fully in charge of the counseling experience. By working together, you will learn the aspects of your life that you can control and what you cannot.
Assess where your difficulties come from, what's keeping you stuck, and learn new strategies to break old patterns. We'll focus on the issues that matter to you, whether they be relationships, trauma, anxiety, whatever, we will manage them together.

My approach integrates client-focused care with research-backed strategies. I get to know each individual and their struggles, and then pull from the various evidence-based techniques I'm trained in to meet their specific needs.
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.
I emphasize self-compassion. I focus on challenging unhelpful thoughts, learning to experience and process your emotions in a healthy way, and building meaningful connections. You will also learn concrete skills on how to cope with your emotions.

I use a variety of approaches that have research supported effectiveness. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based interventions and therapies that help you learn skills to achieve your goals and feel mentally and emotionally healthier
Work together to explore difficulties that you are experiencing in relationships - not only with your partner, family, or friends - but also yourself! My goal is to create a safe space for you to move towards authenticity and self-acceptance.

I start each session with "what is present with you today?". I genuinely care about your wellbeing and want to know how I can support you. We will identify goals, explore current stressors, and work together towards your personal healing journey.
