I enjoy supporting children, adolescents, and adults with identity exploration and affirmation. I am passionate about working with folx struggling with anxiety, depression, and mood; navigating boundary work and life transitions; and coping and living with overall difficulties that accompany the human experience. I value the therapeutic relationship as one of the most powerful tools in the healing process and I strive to create a warm and culturally responsive space where you will feel heard, understood, and empowered. I want help clients move from surviving to living.
My approach is flexible and grounded in a client-centered and trauma-based lens. I utilize polyvagal and DBT approaches while using humor, creativity, and self-compassion in therapy. A gentle encouragement: you have been living your life, all of your life. Together, let's use what tools and strengths you have to continue building you up.
Beginning therapy can be daunting, and I am here to support you and honor each of your victories along the way. Whether you are seeking therapy during a time of struggle, or with longing to connect to yourself more deeply, I am prepared to meet you where you are with compassion, empathy, and acceptance.
