I specialize in supporting adults through difficult life changes, feelings of depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and traumatic experiences. My time with clients focuses on building trust, creating a safe space to explore hard conversations, and assisting you with navigating your next steps in life. My hope is that you feel more understood, validated and supported to be your most authentic and genuine self.
I prefer to take an eclectic approach to therapy, utilizing and exploring different theoretical approaches that best match your needs and wants, while focusing on building trust in the therapeutic relationship. These approaches can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment based techniques and more.
With the help of a feminist approach, I keep in mind the impact of institutions on mental health and strive towards equality, equity, and empathy in society and in therapy. While creating a safe and welcoming environment, we can navigate the uncertainties of life together.
