I believe in providing a different approach to therapy, rooted in real tools and tangible resources. My style 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 a 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 my clients with a strong set of coping and grounding skills as well as develop self-awareness and emotional intelligence along the way.
I know that starting therapy can feel like an intimidating experience. My goal is to make the intake process feel easy and seamless as we work to get you started with therapy. Please reach out to me so that we can address your questions and concerns while discussing your goals and needs for therapy at this time.
