About My Clients
I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and struggles with self-worth and taking action. Many of my clients feel stuck, turning to patterns that once helped them feel safe, but now feel limiting or out of step with the life they’re seeking. They’re ready to better understand themselves, manage emotions with more ease, and build more authentic, connected relationships.
My Background and Approach
I’m a licensed mental health counselor with a trauma-informed, integrative approach. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) to meet each client’s unique needs. My work is rooted in the belief that lasting change comes from both understanding the past and developing new ways of being in the present. I support clients in making sense of what’s getting in the way of living the life they want, helping to expand self-awareness, emotional flexibility, and self-compassion. Together, we explore healthier ways of relating to yourself and others, so that old survival strategies no longer need to define your experience. Therapy with me is collaborative, curious, and focused on creating meaningful, sustainable change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy should be a space where all parts of you are welcome. I’m committed to practicing with cultural humility and creating a space that honors your full identity, including race, gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, ability, and lived experience. I strive to offer care that is relational, inclusive, and attuned. I’m passionate about supporting individuals who have felt unseen or misunderstood. I also work with clients who carry perfectionistic tendencies or struggle with people-pleasing, often feeling pressure to perform or meet others’ expectations at the expense of their own authenticity. I see therapy as a space for being truly heard, gaining insight, reflecting honestly, and being supported in making real changes, knowing that healing involves both personal growth and connection with others.
