My clinical work is focused on treating mood disorders, emotion dysregulation, addiction, trauma, and self-harm. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and minoritized people, including ethnic, sexual and gender minorities. In therapy, I use a strengths-based approach to identify and build on your existing coping skills. I aim to create a non-judgemental space to help you feel truly heard and safe to explore your vulnerabilities and areas for growth. I use a combination of warmth, directness, and humor to support you in learning new tools and more effective behaviors to live a life you value.
I provide individual, couples, family and group therapy using evidence-based treatments. I have extensive training and experience in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, adoption-specific therapy, and other emotion-focused and mindfulness-based approaches.
We all have problems and patterns we get stuck in. Sometimes it seems like life has played us an unfair hand and we don’t know how to move forward. Asking for help can be difficult and brave. I see my role as a guide to help you better understand what brought you to therapy, celebrate your strengths, and develop the tools to take back control of your life.
