I view the therapeutic relationship as collaborative, and I strive to create a secure space for you to deepen your self-awareness, cultivate sustainable coping strategies, and clarify your values. I often work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, disordered eating habits, body image distress, or life transitions. Many clients enter therapy with a desire to feel more connected to themselves. In our work, we will identify the ways in which you may be engaging in avoidance or other unhelpful patterns. In our process, you will reconnect with what you need to experience a more vibrant and fulfilling life.

I specialize in supporting people who have experienced trauma, whether this be a single event, or repeated or chronic experiences throughout their childhood or life. I also work with people who having difficulties managing their mood (e.g. experiencing depression or anxiety) and understanding the role of experiences in shaping their sense of self and identity. I can work with people to process hard life experiences, creating a space to be heard or challenged, but also to develop practical skills to better cope with their difficulties (e.g. improving motivation, managing anxiety, reducing "unhelpful coping" such as substance misuse).

You're likely sifting through therapist profiles because you feel lost, hopeless, or stuck – wanting to make a change or feel different, but not sure about how to do that, where to start, or if the kind of change you quietly wish for is possible. Maybe you are isolated and want someone to help you through an unexpected situation, or perhaps you've got a lot of support already, but want the perspective of someone who's separate from your life. It takes a lot of strength to honestly acknowledge your struggles and decide to turn inward to find a way out of them. I am honored to walk with you at whatever point you're at on this journey.

Many people seek therapy upon realizing that familiar ways of thinking, feeling, behaving, and relating to others have become unhelpful or even stifling. Maybe it’s difficult to sustain meaningful relationships, to confront anxiety-provoking situations, or to cultivate a positive, valued sense of yourself. Maybe you neglect yourself, play out self-defeating patterns, or invalidate your own feelings. There are innumerable ways that emotional pain shows up in our lives. However, it can be difficult to identify, confront, and work through this on your own, or to make changes that allow you to thrive.
