About My Clients
I help clients develop a more nurturing relationship with themselves and build trust in their ability to navigate life’s challenges. Sometimes this means building skills to help you understand and manage emotions, creating a safe and welcoming space to explore who you are (and want to be), or supporting you through the processing of significant life experiences. I have particular experience working with college students, athletes, LGBTQIA+ folks, neurodivergent folks, and survivors of trauma.
My Background and Approach
My approach is warm, curious, and collaborative. I listen closely to how you describe your experiences and tailor therapy to your needs, values, and goals. I draw from Internal Family Systems, emotion-focused therapy, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness, while honoring your expertise in your own life. Before becoming a psychologist resident, I worked as an advocate for survivors of interpersonal violence, which deepened my understanding of how sociopolitical systems shape mental health and strengthened my appreciation for human resilience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
We all are doing the best we can, and we all have ways we wish we were doing better. Often, those old ways served us in some way in the past, but maybe they are not working for us anymore. Change is hard, but you are immensely capable. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and finding the right fit matters. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore what matters to you. If you’re looking for a collaborative space to better understand yourself and navigate life’s challenges, I welcome you to reach out.
