Therapy is a space for exploration, connection, growth, and change. Throughout your sessions, you will get to know yourself better and gain awareness of your patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. With that awareness and understanding of yourself, you will have opportunities to make changes to those patterns and to your life. You will get to know your strengths and weaknesses well and you’ll develop ways to make the best of both. My role as a therapist is to accompany and guide my clients on this journey, knowing when to be gentle and when to push a little bit harder to make progress towards your goals.

Some modalities that I draw from include
attachment-based
, relational and emotional focused therapy.
Do you feel a lack of connectedness, authenticity, and ease in your life but have no idea where to begin because all roads to get there feel overwhelming and impossible? Do you feel blocked in big areas of your life such as your relationships and career? Does your mind race with thoughts of worry, fear, and thought loops around “what ifs” “shoulds” and all the things that are going wrong in your life? Perhaps you don’t know how to talk to your friends and family about this because their advice doesn’t help leaving you feeling alone and stuck.

My approach includes principles and techniques from CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and
attachment-based
therapy, as well as motivational interviewing.
Embarking on a journey toward healing and purpose can be equally hopeful and daunting. Maybe you have experienced trauma that is currently resurfacing in disruptive ways. Or, you have challenges with engaging in fulfilling relationships. Perhaps you're starting to realize that your familiar coping strategies have stopped serving you. Whatever the hurdle is, I'm glad you're here. I work with folks who have granted themselves the permission and grace to explore issues related to their emotional distress, intersecting identities, complex trauma, maladaptive relational patterns, addictive behaviors, and self-acceptance.
