I am passionate about supporting individuals in figuring out how to get “unstuck”, navigate challenging relationships and life transitions, learn how to be present in both mind and body, and grow into the most authentic version of themselves. I believe that self-awareness and self-compassion can bring about accountability and change. My focuses include attachment styles, family dynamics, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, faith transitions, life transitions, intercultural and interfaith relationships, PTSD, and complex trauma.
I use a psychodynamic approach and am trained in EMDR. I utilize a range of different techniques and modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
As a therapist, I am warm, grounded, and patient. I listen closely, with curiosity and kindness. I prioritize providing a safe space in which we can work collaboratively to explore what is brought into the room. I believe that it is in a stable, judgement-free zone that one can reach the vulnerability necessary for healing and achieving one’s best self.
