I believe that therapy extends beyond symptom relief; it entails gaining insight into one's self, patterns, and relationship dynamics. In other words, in order to "feel better," I think it is important to uncover how and why these symptoms developed over time. I aspire to help patients obtain this deeper understanding by fostering a sense of security and connectedness, which will allow me to act as a collaborative guide through this exploration. In therapy, I encourage patients to be active participants in their process so as to develop a sense of empowerment leading to relief from current symptoms as well as sustainable change.
Throughout my clinical experience, I have had the privilege of working with adults from diverse backgrounds presenting with a wide range of clinical issues. Some particular areas of focus include identity development, depression, anxiety, chronic trauma, family of origin conflicts, LGBTQ+ issues, and body image concerns.
