About My Clients

Many of my clients have experienced traumas, depression, anxiety, life transitions, struggles with self-esteem, body image barriers, family conflict, postpartum and perinatal changes, & so much more. I hope for us to work together so that we can explore your emotions, discuss and process traumas or wounds of the past, learn and incorporate coping skills, build on your strengths, & focus on empowerment.

My Background and Approach

I prioritize creating an individualized therapeutic experience through collaboration, honesty, and trust to allow space for this work. I am grounded in an ACT lens, but incorporate an eclectic approach, including CBT, DBT, Attachment-Theory, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to ensure your individual needs are met.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strongly believe in every person's ability to heal, grow, learn, and change. We are all unique individuals that may have been strongly impacted by past experiences, relationships, trauma wounds, and political, environment, and social stressors. I have witnessed the growth that a therapeutic relationship can provide in processing all of these. I welcome individuals of all communities into my therapy space, providing a safe, warm, honest, and trusting environment where you can be true to your authentic self and be celebrated for that authenticity! I would be honored to take part in this next step of self-prioritization and welcome you to reach out today!
