bring our unique skills and talents to therapy: you are the expert on you, and I have expertise on helping people navigate life effectively. I believe most humans yearn for connection and to be truly known and accepted for who they are.

I am an active therapist, meaning that I will ask questions and point out patterns to help you get to the root of what really brought you into therapy. My aim is not to tell you what to do, but rather to help you listen to your own inner wisdom.
Understand patterns of behavior and self that have potentially gotten in your way of living the life you want. We will dive deep into your value system to understand whether you're living your own life, or the life you were told you should live.

I have a collaborative approach that helps clients feel safe, empowered, and help assess their readiness for change. As opposed to popular belief, there might not be a breakthrough or a light bulb moment, but it will be a steady process of insight.
We'll work together to understand how and why painful thoughts and emotions show up for you, and if there are ways you can respond differently when they do.

My approach is science-based, compassionate, and collaborative. I want to understand you as a whole person, including what you're struggling with, what you enjoy, and what matters most to you.
Try on old patterns like clothes in a closet to see if they still fit. This is a practice space, a place of creation and brainstorming new ways of being who you want to be. Let yourself say the things that you've needed to hear yourself say.

We'll examine the stories that you tell yourself that hold you back and keep you stuck. We'll learn to manage feelings and how we judge ourselves for them. We'll shift perspective on the values that we subscribe to and develop new skills to cope.
I will provide support, active listening, and validation in every meeting. The therapy sessions are a safe space, free of judgment and full of respect and encouragement, where the clients can be themselves.

As a clinical social worker, I can support you in your journey to feeling better and regaining control of your life. I have used Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy (TF-CBT).
