About My Clients

I have experience in many different settings including inpatient units, outpatient clinics, and private practices. I have served many different demographics but am most well versed in treating young adults/adults who suffer from anxiety and depression

My Background and Approach

I was trained in both CBT and psychodynamic approaches to therapy, which allows me to tailor my work to meet each individual's needs. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, from children to seniors, across various settings. My primary focus has been with emerging adults—especially those navigating mood disorders, anxiety, and challenges related to life transitions and relationship/family dynamics. I'm committed to ongoing training and growth, ensuring I stay equipped to address the evolving needs in mental health.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each experience is unique, shaped by your individual identity, perspective, and life experiences. No two sessions are the same because I value the collaborative nature of therapy, adjusting each session to what works best for you and your goals. I draw on a variety of approaches for short-term therapy, including CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and I incorporate psychodynamic techniques to help you explore how past and present experiences may be connected, empowering you to make meaningful changes and break long-term patterns. I aim to support you through whatever you may be experiencing, and will hold space for you to grow, explore, and heal.
