I believe that across our life we develop many strengths, relational patterns, and skills that help us manage and navigate difficult situations and relationships. However, while these skills or patterns may have been helpful in the past, they may not be effective when we are confronted with new, unexpected challenges. I hold that therapy is a safe space where we can explore our past experiences, make sense of who we are and the ways we relate, make sense of our struggles, and find new solutions that lead to healing and clarity.
Some of my specialties include working with individual and couples with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life changes (e.g., college, job change, relocation), racial/cultural identity issues, and trauma (e.g. childhood abuse/neglect).
My work is to be in support of your healing and growth; to help you live a more authentic and fulfilled life that is aligned with your values. My phone number rings directly to the front desk of our group practice, Slate Therapy. I look forward to hearing from you!
