About

I am here to support you in your journey towards deepened self awareness and discovery. If you are looking to recognize and grow through challenging circumstances, uncomfortable emotions, or unfulfilled goals you have for yourself, I look to hold a soft honest space for the clients I work with to enrich this growth. Our emotional wellbeing deserves thorough attention and care. My clients unpack the complexity of anxiety, depression, familial issues, grief, life transitions, trauma, relational stress, racial injustice, and oppression. I also work with clients who aren’t sure what draws them to therapy but are looking to find out.

I use a trauma-informed, empathic, eclectic approach engaging methods derived from Internal Family Systems, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness practices. As a therapist, I take a relational orientation to our work and I build off of your strengths to support you in reaching your goals.

Exploring tools to improve your life is a powerful sign of self love and insight. You deserve to be proud of yourself for considering therapy. If this description makes you feel that working together could be a benefit to you, feel free to reach out and we can set up a 15 minute complementary consultation.
