I specialize in assisting individuals from diverse backgrounds who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, intimate partner violence, life transitions and other challenges affecting their quality of life and ability to engage effectively with others.
My approach is comprehensive and multidisciplinary. I incorporate CBT, DBT, feminist theory, and social justice principles into my work. I customize my methods to align with each individual's social identity and individual needs, recognizing that presenting problems, behaviors, and responses are deeply intertwined with their environmental and social context.

Many of the people I work with describe a sense that life looks fine on the outside—career, relationships, responsibilities—but something inside feels disconnected, anxious, or quietly unfulfilled.
In our work together, I offer a space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. My style is grounded, collaborative, and reflective. I help people explore anxiety, identity questions, relational patterns, & the deeper search for meaning that often emerges in adulthood.

I believe therapy is a place for self-exploration and building awareness of what is holding you back from leading a more fulfilling life. Whether you have suffered a recent loss or trauma, are suffering with painful emotions or having trouble coping with a life transition, therapy is a place to be heard and supported as you navigate the difficult path towards healing. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, pulling predominately from relational and interpersonal theories, while incorporating motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral interventions when appropriate.

We get stuck, leading to anxiety, frustration, and conflict, which leads in turn to us feeling bad about ourselves and our relationships.
I view therapy as a collaboration between me and my clients, where we work together to understand what gets in the way of being who you want to be and doing what you want to do. We clarify your goals, uncover and capitalize on existing strengths, and develop new ways of working through difficulties.
