Using an integrative approach, I meet you in your current experience and assess how you would like to make changes to your emotional and mental health. I am passionate about providing psychoeducation to clients to normalize and teach self-compassion for all of the universally human struggles we have. I use multiple therapies to integrate the aspects of mind, spirit, and meaning that are unique to each individual to create overall wellness.
I believe processing and simply feeling safe to speak about thoughts and feelings are vital to the therapeutic process. You are the expert on your life and experiences, and my role is to help you understand and unpack what you may have left boxed up. We go about this journey by processing the past, present, and goals for the future.
Reaching out is the first but often most intimidating step in the therapeutic process; however, you deserve to receive the support you need. Investing time in your relationship with yourself is one of the best ways to begin healing.

I often use CBT, psychodynamic, and existential therapies in my practice. Thoughts are not facts! Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us identify the emotions we feel, the thoughts we have, and the actions we take based on them. Psychodynamic therapy helps us understand more about our early experiences and how they impact us. Existential therapy helps us build meaning and purpose.
