About My Clients

I enjoy working with older teens and young adults dealing with the social and academic stress of high school/college and figuring out what it means to enter a world where so much nuance and complexity exists. I also love providing a space for adults who have decided to show up to do the deep work of facing their trauma, attachment injuries, codependency, relationship issues, harmful generational cycles, or living life out of balance.

My Background and Approach

Because I am a social worker to my core, I center my work from an integrative, person-in-environment, strengths-based approach. As a clinician, my favorite therapy concoction includes a heavy dose of psychodynamic theory, trauma-informed care, attachment theory, mindfulness, and CBT—sprinkled with a personal touch of humor throughout!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that humans are deeply relational beings who crave connection. And what better relationship to start with than the one you have with yourself? Much of our distress in life comes by way of disconnection from self and others. Therapy is the place to talk about that—a place to tell your story. I want to know what makes you uniquely you and how you arrived at this moment. And most of all, I want to be on your team, partnering with you on this incredible and sometimes heartbreaking journey of life. It would be my honor to bear witness to your hurts and your healing and find the place where wellness exists for you. When you're ready, we’re going to dive deep!
