My website
As a therapist, I typically see clients who want a more direct approach to therapy that is engaging, collaborative, and deeply authentic. I will meet you with honesty, challenge you when necessary, and provide actionable feedback. I offer an eclectic approach during sessions that is collaborative, warm and conversational. I don't believe everyone fits into one single treatment modality and I want treatment plans to feel tailored specifically to the individual. My goal is that my clients can show up exactly as they are (flaws and all) so we can tackle your challenges head-on and get you closer to the life you want.
I use evidenced-based modalities tailored to clients' individual needs but most often utilize IFS and CBT. I work from a trauma informed framework and typically see individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, enmeshed family dynamics, and life transitions (perinatal support, marriage/divorce, and big life changes).
In session, I want clients to feel a blend of exploration, insight, and direction. It is designed to be a soft place to land, while ensuring you never leave a session feeling unsure of its value or direction. Together, we will unpack your experiences, build meaningful self-awareness, and establish actionable next steps.
