I am a Licensed MFT with extensive experience providing individual psychotherapy to teens and adults. I work with clients presenting with a wide range of challenges including severe and persistent mental health challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic suicidality, grief, substance use, relational and life transition challenges. I work with people living with HIV and Transgender, Nonbinary and Gender expansive individuals. I also work with women in all stages of the life span and I am currently working towards a specialization in prenatal and perinatal mental health.
I have an eclectic approach and apply empirically validated modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am engaging and authentic in my approach. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process and I partner with my clients to foster healing.
