About My Clients

I view the therapeutic relationship as the key ingredient in effective psychotherapy. We will process painful or disowned emotions, which can provide you with new understandings and shift how you relate to yourself and to others. My style is active and warm, and I provide space for validation, direct feedback, reflection, and humor. My focus areas include anxiety/depression, work/life balance, maternal mental health, relationship issues, family of origin concerns, grief/loss, and trauma.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic approach integrates ACT, insight-oriented, emotion-focused, and feminist perspectives. My aim is to aid you in shifting how you relate to your thoughts and emotions, while adopting a more self-compassionate and mindful inner dialogue. Additionally, I have specialized training in evidenced-based trauma therapies.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a feminist therapist, I believe "the personal is political." We will explore how your distress is shaped by your social, cultural, and political context.
