Therapists » Pre-Licensed Professional
You tend to put others first, but feel like you're never good enough, and often feel all alone. It's hard for you to figure out what your own feelings and needs are & asking for help or setting boundaries feels nearly impossible. Early adulthood is full of life transitions, uncertainty, new experiences, big decisions, and figuring out who we are. It's overwhelming! I have a niche for working with individuals in this stage of life, especially those also dealing with things like anxiety, depression, or complex family systems on top of it all. I work with couples too, understanding relationships impact mental health and vice versa. View 3 Photos I aim to help clients cultivate self-compassion and identify the strengths they hold, while also using DBT and CBT to help people manage symptoms and learn new concrete coping and communication skills for navigating life in a way that feels most effective for them. I utilize attachment and strength-based lenses with both individual and couple clients. I understand the challenge of using skills during difficult moments, and I enjoy partnering with people to provide guidance on listening to one's body and applying new coping strategies. I am client-centered and will meet you where you're at, utilizing interventions that help you heal, grow, and embrace the version of yourself that feels most authentic.
