Many people seek therapy when life starts feeling overwhelming, or when anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, or intrusive thoughts become hard to manage alone. I help adults and adolescents (15 and older) work through these and other concerns, such as OCD and the effects of trauma. Ten years of experience providing psychotherapy in outpatient mental health settings, along with clinical training and professional consultation, inform my therapeutic work. I’ve helped people work through a wide range of challenges, with a focus on providing care that’s thoughtful, effective, and tailored to your needs.
My approach to therapy is integrative and person-centered. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, while incorporating compassion-focused and mindfulness-based techniques when helpful. The therapeutic work can also focus on understanding how past experiences influence the present, while cultivating awareness of the here and now.
With a foundation in strength-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed care, I am dedicated to empowering you to work through life’s difficulties and create positive changes in your life. We'll work together to help you feel more aligned with your core values and live the life you want to lead.
