I am collaborative, strengths-based, and client-centered. My overarching goal as a therapist is to put myself out of a job - I want my clients to learn skills, improve their functioning, and reach their own goals so that they feel comfortable graduating from therapy. I help my clients identify their existing strengths and develop their skills to cope with life’s challenges in order to grow into the people they want to be.

As a therapist, I use compassion, consistency, and curiosity to help my clients increase their self-acceptance while working to make the changes they want in their lives. Using a blend of harm-reduction, CBT, DBT, narrative, and feminist therapies, I work with clients to unpack how trauma, internalized oppression, and family dynamics can interfere with their functioning while increasing their confidence in their skills and sense of self.

Overall, I strive to help my clients increase their self-awareness and self-compassion so that they can feel a greater sense of control and empowerment in their lives. Our initial sessions will be a blend of gathering information about your past, addressing present-day concerns, and getting to know each other. As we continue to work together, we will co-create individualized goals to reduce distress that are specific, meaningful, and achievable.
