Every journey is unique. My person-centered, culturally conscious, approach to therapy aims to honor every individual’s personal path that leads them to today. My therapeutic method is based in Drama Therapy, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship. With Drama Therapy, we utilize story and embodiment to connect to our feelings, ourselves, and the world and relationships around us. I offer a holistic approach to therapy that leans into clients' strengths and creativity to set goals and enhance individual abilities and 'tool kits' to cope with struggles and explore new paths and potential solutions.

I utilize a strengths-based approach while pulling from CBT, DBT, and ACT.
Many of our wounds may have been formed in the absence of a witness or lack of connection. You may be struggling with an eating disorder, body image concerns, low self-worth, anxiety, or relationship challenges. Often, these wounds are formed in the absence of validation and support, or a lack of connection. Because wounds are often started in relationships, it makes sense for healing to happen in a relational way. I believe in the transformational and impactful work that happens within relationships both in and outside of the therapy space.

My theoretical approach is based in cognitive/behaviorist therapy and extends into existentialist, solution focused, narrative, mindfulness, acceptance/commitment, and psychodynamic theories.
I use a variety of approaches ranging from cognitive reframing, exploration of defense mechanisms and automatic thoughts, training in mindfulness, bodily awareness, and examination of feelings, among others. I am interested in the ways in which we each determine our realities, what our minds say to us, and the insight that can be gained from examining those.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems, both of which are effective interventions that help people live lives according to their values and from a place of self-leadership.
I have the privilege of walking alongside people braving the storm to get to something better. To help others move from feeling disempowered and alone to finding agency and connection is my great joy. I treat mood, anxiety, substance use, and trauma-related disorders, as well as co-dependency and couple/relationship issues such as infidelity, sex, difficulties navigating differences, and unresolved conflict. If you're struggling with "stuckness", internal conflict, confusion about who and what you want, disillusionment, or painful relationships, please reach out. Pain grows in isolation, so get the support you need.

Gottman Method, ACT, IFS, CBT, and DBT interventions are utilized.
Life does not always flow smoothly. The past, the present, or the future can seem unclear or full of obstacles. People can get stuck, feel trapped, and the road forward is not always in plain sight. There is always a way forward. In my counseling work I am dedicated to helping people advance towards being their optimal selves, towards self- acceptance, and towards achieving their most impossible goals.

Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back and work toward healing, growth, and greater self- acceptance.
Often we forget about the importance of taking care of our own mental health, and it's easy to feel isolated in our struggles. I’m here to remind you that you don’t have to face it alone. As your therapist, my priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, heal, and grow. Therapy may seem intimidating at first, but I’m committed to empowering you to embrace vulnerability and recognize your inner strengths. I specialize in supporting older teens (16+) and adults through a variety of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.
