About
We all face difficult challenges in life that can lead to increased stress, decreased functioning, emotional pain, ineffective coping strategies, and interpersonal struggles. Engagement in therapy can provide a safe space to gain the skills and support needed to manage these difficulties and can help us grow into the best version of ourselves. I believe that therapy works to aid in the healing process because we are wired for social connection and thrive when we are able to be vulnerable and feel understood/accepted.
My training as a generalist practitioner has given me the ability to work with many different populations and disorders. My approach to therapy is based on a relational/humanistic perspective but I incorporate elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, etc. when clinically appropriate.
My specific areas of interest include anxiety, depression, loss and grief, parenting difficulties, relationship difficulties, and role/life transitions.
