I enjoy helping clients who are working towards (re)discovering their authentic selves. Often this means working with clients who have/are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, body image struggles, substance misuse, and/or ADHD. I have experience working with youth and adults of all different identities.
I work predominantly from a person-centered lens, which looks like a collaborative relationship with empathy, my own authenticity, and no judgement. I do also use other modalities such as CBT, Narrative, IFS, and Somatic techniques. Additionally I bring an anti-oppressive, multicultural, and trauma informed lens to my work.
I firmly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, especially if they have a therapist who is a good match for them. If you think I might be a good match for you, or want to meet my dog (Foxie) because dogs really do make everything a little easier, please reach out for a free consult!
