We'll work toward developing healthier relationships patterns, strengthening emotional regulation and distress tolerance, accepting limitations, building self-awareness, and creating a greater sense of confidence and connection. I provide support in processing loss and grief related to unmet needs, understanding the impact of trauma, persistent worry or sadness, difficulty waking wake or engaging in activities, and deepening understanding of recurring relationship patterns. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, recognizes that peoples experiences, relationships, recovery and abilities vary.
My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and tailored to each person's unique needs. I draw from evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
I bring curiosity, compassion, honesty, and a sense of humor to the therapeutic relationship while helping you build a stronger sense of self, deepen self-compassion, and navigate relationships and life's transitions with greater confidence and resilience. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard and understood.
