I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, stress/burnout, confidence issues, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and take a special focus in working alongside neurodivergent individuals and borderline personality disorder. I work from the position and understanding that life can be painful but we do not need to suffer. I view adversity as existing on a continuum, where pain is an unavoidable part of the human experience within the context of a persons life. Where healing takes time, and patience but it is worth the struggle, and effort to make the journey there for ourselves.
I use a trauma-informed, non-judgmental, and collaborative approach, incorporating attachment theory, psychodynamics, CBT, DBT, and ACT. Where my focus is with a person and not pathology. Working collaborative to uncover and address the underlying dynamics that impact well-being – that is: impacts of history, systems and structures on a person as a whole.
Therapy is a journey to wholeness. You can learn to understand and regulate emotions, develop a nurturing self-relationship, improve how you relate to others, and enhance your overall well-being. If you're ready for positive change, get in touch with me today. Let's uncover your strengths, embrace your narrative, and embark on a journey of healing together.
