About My Clients

Having been in the field of mental health for nearly 8 years, I have worked with people of various ages and diverse backgrounds. I have experience working with individuals, groups, and families around challenges including depression and anxiety, mood instability, domestic violence, grief, trauma, and other major life transitions.

My Background and Approach

I take great care in providing a safe and collaborative environment for my clients to explore their lives and various obstacles in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way. Some of the modalities I use include CBT, DBT, ACT, Psychoanalytic, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Building a trusting relationship and witnessing each client's journey is what I find most fulfilling about my work as a therapist. I am DBT and Hypnotherapy certified, and have extensive experience in working with issues related to self-esteem and trauma.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I recognize that every person is unique, having their own personal set of challenges. I carefully tailor my interventions around my clients' background. I am very passionate about helping others feel a sense of empowerment and self-worth. It is my belief that building a trusting and collaborative relationship helps facilitate personal growth. If you would like to work with someone who's compassionate and down-to-earth, please reach out!
