About My Clients

I hold the belief that an authentic, collaborative relationship is foundational to building and maintaining an empowered therapy space... which means bringing that "human-ness" into session is so important. I see therapy as somewhere to get curious and explore where we may feel stuck, rather than a space where we work to be "fixed." I prioritize a relational approach and have a passion for walking alongside folks in their journey through trauma, relationships, self-esteem, and anxiety.

My Background and Approach

I take a conversational and collaborative approach to therapy, striving to show up for clients in a way that aligns with their needs. I strongly believe in integrating a mixture of trauma-informed modalities, pulling from psychodynamic, IFS-informed, and ACT-based approaches. Learning how to hold simultaneous yet opposing emotions/thoughts (known as dialectics) and the practice of accepting all parts of ourselves can be powerful work!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Whether our time together is centered around life transitions, relationships, trauma, anxiety or other presenting struggles, I believe that my role as a therapist is to hold collaborative, safe spaces. I would love to connect and learn more about what you are looking for, seeing if we would be a good fit.
