We I draw from: Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, somatic therapy, and attachment-based approaches.
You might be seeking therapy because you’re feeling worn out, anxious, and out of alignment with where you want to be in life. Therapy can help you embody ways of being that support who you are and who you’d like to be in relationship to yourself, others, and the larger community around you. Every person comes to therapy holding unique stories, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, values, experiences, and behaviors. I offer a relationally supportive, collaborative, and warm environment where it all belongs and I would be honored to help you sort through it all.

I also draw from different toolboxes, such as CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing.
Even when we know that some of our emotional pain is unnecessary, on our own it can be difficult to figure out why the extra suffering and how to make it better. Anxiety, depression, trauma re-activation, relationship difficulties, and coping strategies are natural responses to life experiences and circumstances. Do they need to hurt so and are we stuck with them? Therapy is a great place to gain perspective on what you can change. Also, to widen the horizon from managing pain to living more fully like yourself and to thriving. Because, as Thich Nhat Hanh said, "suffering is not enough".

I work from a person centered approach and utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.
Life presents many challenges, and with busy schedules, people often forget to take care of themselves and attend to their needs. Lacking the necessary support to overcome these challenges can leave individuals feeling lost, depressed, anxious, angry, and stuck. It is important to recognize that everyone is worthy of happiness and deserves to feel fulfilled in their relationships.

Wherever you are in your therapeutic journey, my first goal is to offer a warm, empathetic space where you can be comfortable exploring the questions that brought you here. I welcome individuals, couples, kids, teens, and families and I am a long-practicing ally to BIPOC and LGTBQIA+ communities.

I have co-facilitated a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy group and offer DBT informed therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my private practice.
It takes courage to seek therapy, and I commend you for taking this step. Are you looking for a safe space to process challenging feelings, thoughts, events and/or relationships? Do you want to learn tools to help you be more actively engaged and present in your life? Is fear or sadness preventing you from living in alignment with your values or accomplishing your goals? I believe that we all have an innate ability and desire to live our lives with intent, and sometimes we need support and guidance to connect to those values as we navigate our ever changing circumstances.

I utilize various theories: mindfulness, CBT, DBT, Somatic Experiencing, and Existential.
You might be ready for a change, but you’re feeling frozen. You might be struggling with bad memories, but worry that addressing them might mean you have to relive them. You might want to express your needs, but you don’t know how to say it or feel shut down. When I started therapy as a client years ago, my thoughts were: how will I tell a stranger about my personal life? What if they’re secretly judging me? Can I be helped? What if there’s just something wrong with me? These thoughts about therapy are totally normal. We will go at your pace in this process, I won’t judge you, and believe that there is nothing wrong with you.

I’m trained in several evidence-based practices and incorporate them into my work with clients, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Inference-based CBT, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Motivational Interviewing.
I specialize in working with individuals 16-35 who are experiencing anxiety, depression, substance misuse, emotion dysregulation, stress, and challenges in relationships within their family of origin. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals experiencing life transitions, including pregnancy/postpartum and new parents. My work with clients is person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I often use humor with my clients, when appropriate, because laughter can be a very powerful tool and often helps foster a sense of trust and alliance.
