My work with DBT-informed strategies is grounded in helping clients apply skills in real-life situations such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication so they can respond more effectively to stressors and relationship challenges. I integrate these tools in a collaborative and supportive way, tailoring interventions to each client’s needs and readiness for change.

I have experience providing therapy grounded in humanistic principles, including a strong emphasis on empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. My clinical approach is informed by person-centered, relational, and experiential frameworks, and I consistently integrate these values into my work to support clients in building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change.

In sessions, we explore patterns that show up in your relationships, including how you connect, communicate, and respond to others. The relationship between client and therapist is an important part of the work, offering a safe space to notice patterns, build trust, and create new ways of relating. This approach is often helpful for concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, especially when past experiences continue to impact current connections.
