I believe in providing women and girls with tangible resources and tools in therapy. My approach is hands-on, collaborative, and goal-oriented. Through this approach to therapy, I work to help my clients learn coping strategies to use in day-to day-life while exploring past events that could be playing a role in current emotions and relationships. I have experience working with women and girls on variety of issues such as anxiety and panic, concerns related to pregnancy, depression, disordered eating patterns, body image concerns, trauma, mood disorders, and more.

I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These approaches allow me to provide her clients with a variety of skills for mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and distress tolerance.

I know that starting therapy can feel like an intimidating experience and you may have questions about this process. Reach out to me so that we can address your questions and concerns while discussing your goals and needs for therapy at this time.

Clients can expect hands-on care when they see me for therapy, especially involving anxiety and OCD. My hope is that clients walk away from sessions feeling confident, prepared, and capable to reach their therapeutic goals. There is never a sense of confusion or ambiguity regarding therapy, as my approach is active and utilities tangible resources within the room.

My initial sessions usually start off giving you a solid set of coping skills that are personal to you. After that, I like to move to self-awareness work around naming emotions, what they feel like in our bodies, and moving to a place of identifying the roots of our feelings. From there, my hope is to discuss your day to day anxieties and hindrances before moving to trauma work.
