My website
I take a collaborative, values-based approach to help you build tools and self-awareness as you navigate life transitions, relationship changes, and self-discovery. In our work together, I’ll support you in exploring your personal values, goals, and identity. As a therapist, I view you as the expert of your own experience, and see it as my role to encourage reflection, exploration, and clarity as you move through life and work towards your goals. It’s important to me that I meet you where you’re at and follow your lead through the therapeutic process. In my practice, I value taking a mind-body approach.
I draw from cognitive modalities including CBT, DBT, and ACT, while incorporating body-based work, leaning on an understanding of the nervous system and polyvagal-informed approaches. Our sessions together combine talk therapy and skills-based practices so you walk away feeling more confident navigating life's challenges. I work with adults and teens 15+.
Finding the right therapist can be a challenge, and I'm here to support you on your journey. You can read a bit more about me on my website, and if what I've shared resonates with you, I would love to connect for a free 15-minute consult. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit more about me and my approach to practice!
