My clinical focus includes the impact of parental neglect and abandonment, relationship trauma, and challenges in dating and maintaining healthy intimate relationships. I also work with clients who experience feelings of not belonging, particularly related to identity. I work with clients experiencing depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, OCD tendencies, and neurodivergence including autism and ADHD. I also support individuals struggling with emotional regulation difficulties and compulsive or addictive behaviors, including substance use and problematic social media use.
My approach includes: CBT helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, ACT supports psychological flexibility and values-based living, Person-Centered Therapy provides a supportive and empathic therapeutic relationship, and Narrative Therapy helps clients explore stories they hold about themselves and the world.
I strive to be both supportive and gently challenging, helping clients feel deeply seen while also encouraging growth, insight, and meaningful change. I remain curious and collaborative, meeting each person with compassion, respect, and affirmation for their lived experience.
