My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and direct, with a strong emphasis on self-understanding. My hope is that we can focus on developing greater emotional insight to help you live with more intention and meaning within your current circumstances. I use a humanistic approach to help cultivate greater self-compassion while also exploring the patterns and behaviors that contribute to your current distress. I frequently work with individuals struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, and body image concerns, as well as those noticing patterns of avoidance that feel hard to shift.
My practice is heavily influenced by CBT and I have extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Together, we can identify practical coping skills to implement during moments of distress with the goal of managing discomfort and preventing emotional crises.
I often support young adults in navigating academic/career stress, relationships, and the pressure of balancing achievement with a meaningful social life. Many clients come to me seeking support around relational challenges, including conflicts in romantic relationships, friendships, co-worker relationships, and family dynamics.
