I help clients build awareness of their symptoms and explore what those experiences truly signify. Recognizing that harmful behaviors are often symptoms—not personal failings—can be incredibly liberating. It’s an honor to walk alongside my clients as they step outside their comfort zones and begin embracing the language of self-compassion. Together, we work toward meaningful progress and lasting personal growth.
My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, integrating the mind, body, and emotions to support overall well-being. I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems-Informed Therapy, Somatic-Informed Therapy, and Narrative
I also understand how difficult it can be to find the right therapist. Opening up, only to feel uncertain if someone is the right fit, can be exhausting. But you are worth the effort. When you connect with a therapist who both supports and challenges you, it can truly make all the difference. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your journey.

I use multiple modalities, however each individual is unique and their situation is unique. Therefore, rapport is the most important approach to use to determine what is needed to challenge you.
