Seeking therapy is a courageous act & as your therapist, I am privileged to meet you where you are at. I view my clients holistically, with a humanistic lens to gain an encompassing understanding of their experience. My style of therapy is based in person-centered principles, guided by empathy, authenticity, warmth, & respect as well as evidence-based treatments (CBT/DBT/ACT). My approach uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify patterns & barriers, explore values & strengths, enhance cognitive flexibility & mindfulness skills, & empower clients to meet goals & carve out their unique path of fulfillment.
I use CBT, ACT, DBT and creative mindfulness to aid in gaining confidence and self-empowerment. I specialize in working with adults and teens struggling with anxiety, OCD, self-esteem, assertiveness, boundaries, social challenges, and motivation. I'm also experienced in helping patients navigate transitions such as career changes and stage of life issues.
I believe everyone deserves authentic and unconditional support- it's my privilege to provide that for my clients. Reach out via email or phone to set up an intake appointment or with any questions you may have!
