Sometimes, coping can become exhausting and dull. Maybe what you have been doing is not working anymore, or you are looking for a place to start. When you are overwhelmed with issues of anxiety, struggling in your interpersonal relationships, or with your own identity and sexuality, with no relief, it is time to try something different. I believe so much of the therapeutic process finds success through connection and self-awareness. I aim to co-create a comfortable and open space to explore these challenges and to honor and support you in your decision to prioritize your mental health.
I incorporate an integrative approach to therapy, prioritizing holistic, compassionate, person-centered, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. I tailor my approach depending on the needs of my clients. I have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, people in life transition, codependency and issues of anxiety and depression.
I enjoy bringing non-traditional elements into the therapeutic space, incorporating my training in yoga, movement and somatic bodywork. These often complement traditional behavioral approaches and solution-focused treatment. The journey is yours, and I am grateful to help you find relief and power in reclaiming your experience.
