To me, therapy is a collaborative experience with the intent to promote real change and liberation. I place great value in the therapeutic relationship that is fostered through honesty, warmth, acceptance. Through the therapeutic relationship, I hope to establish a safe and non-judgmental environment that encourages vulnerability and change. Working together, we construct effective coping techniques, communication skills, healthy boundaries and behaviors, and improved life functioning.
I utilize an integrative approach and adapt methodology based on the needs of the client. I typically apply skills and techniques grounded in evidence-based practice including DBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Therapy. I currently work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and couples.
I believe therapy is a way to aid others in finding the path they need in order to obtain happiness, stability, or success no matter what that might look like for each person. My specialties and areas of interest include mood & anxiety disorders, life transitions, sex & intimacy issues, trauma, and stress management. Let's take this journey together.
