Are you looking for extra support navigating life, in this ever-changing world? Are you looking to make positive life changes and work towards your goals? From everyday life stressors to big life transitions, the challenges of life can get to us. As your therapist, I will strive to build a collaborative therapeutic relationship through compassion, empathy and trust. I aim to meet clients where they are at, by tailoring my therapeutic approach based on each individual and providing a safe, nonjudgmental space. You do not have to be alone on this journey.
My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, interpersonal distress, trauma and life transitions. I have experience working with young adults, as well as adults. My main priority in therapy is tending to the therapeutic relationship by utilizing a client centered approach as well as drawing from cognitive/behavioral theories and psychodynamic theories.
I pull from various therapeutic approaches, depending on the unique individual challenges, with the goal to illicit changes from within. I incorporate CBT, DBT, mindfulness, radical acceptance, compassion, and motivational interviewing, while keeping a multicultural lens in session. If this sounds like a good fit, reach me by email!
