I believe individuals’ thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and bodily sensations need to be brought into our awareness, as insight is essential for change. I also believe that humans want to find purpose and meaning in their lives, that most people want to feel loved, validated, and that their needs are being met. When these are not present, unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as avoidance or negative self-talk can arise and cause distress in our lives. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and the therapeutic relationship as tools for alleviating symptoms and supporting other goals of healing.
I work with adults of all genders who struggle with mental health disorders, such as anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders, as well as substance use disorders, or both. Additional areas of interest include medical trauma, sexual trauma, relationships and communication skills, spirituality/faith, religious trauma, shame, and self-esteem.
I believe there is no one-size-fits-all to counseling. I aim to provide individualized care to each client and recognize how multiculturalism and identity affect how you experience daily life. I strive to be an advocate for marginalized clients including, but not limited to, those impacted by racism, fatphobia, and sexism. I look forward to working with you!
