When clients come to see me, they are in the driver's seat! I view them as experts in their own experiences and dedicate myself to exploring their various identities. I help clients accept their feelings while working toward meaningful change. Everyone has the potential to grow and change, and I believe building a better life can be a powerful experience.
My work focuses on managing emotional intensity while helping clients learn to understand and build tolerance for the distress that arises in our daily lives. I aim to provide clients with an affirming space to process, be their most authentic self, and set realistic goals. I believe clients have within them what they need to achieve success.
Therapy with me is a collaborative process, and I work with clients to set realistic, measurable goals. Let's create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs to tackle the things that feel overwhelming.
