I provide a safe space for you to explore patterns and narratives that are holding you back from living a life in which you feel valued, worthy, and aligned with your authentic self. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or trauma, having trouble connecting or communicating in relationships, or struggling to manage stress or change, therapy can help you better understand yourself and meet your own needs. I work with children, teens and adults and believe in the importance of treating the holistic self to improve wellness.
I have experience treating a wide range of issues such as anxiety/depression, PTSD/trauma, ADHD and low self-esteem. I tailor each session to the specific needs of each client; I build on your unique strengths, utilizing relational psychotherapy, CBT, and DBT, and foster an authentic therapeutic relationship, which I believe to be the true source of change.
I will help you tap into your intuition while increasing your self-compassion and curiosity, and help you experiment with viewing situations from a new lens. I will help you build the tools you need to cope effectively with your struggles and create forward momentum for meaningful and lasting change in your life.
