I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey that encourages growth and healing. I work primarily with women experiencing anxiety, impacts of trauma, relationship issues, and family conflict. I also specialize in working with individuals who are navigating difficult dynamics with family members who struggle with addiction. Whether you are looking to explore the difficulties you are going through and develop new coping tools, want to learn more about yourself, work on boundary setting, or want to break out of unhealthy habits and develop more agency/accountability in your life, I provide a welcoming environment for you to do so.
I utilize a holistic and trauma-informed approach to mental wellness. I incorporate psychodynamic, attachment, and inner child work to explore how early relational experiences affect how we navigate as adults. My approach is integrative in that I also pull from CBT, DBT, and ACT to implement tools for coping, regulation, and improving relationships.
Through values of empathy, compassion, and cultural sensitivity, I aim to build a non-judgmental, safe, and trusting therapeutic relationship in order to provide a space for you to heal, feel empowered, and develop insights for positive changes to occur. I will always tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, values, and goals.
