Welcome. Are you feeling misunderstood or perhaps not feeling heard? My intention is to offer a non-judgmental space to talk through past and present feelings and situations that may be uncomfortable, painful, stressful or overwhelming. I most often work with those who feel stuck due to anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, ADHD and grief/loss, including support for individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community. Reaching out for and participating in therapy may seem daunting; part of my role is to help work through any uneasiness or apprehension.
Therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from client and therapist alike. As a relational and trauma-informed therapist, cultivating trust, safety and comfort is a top priority.
I use the lens of psychoanalytic and attachment theories and may infuse CBT, DBT, mindfulness, feminist theory and somatic experiencing into sessions. My communication style is compassionate and candid, with a bit of humor. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all; I work collaboratively. Sessions are tailored to fit individual goals/needs.
