About My Clients

Struggling with anxiety, depression, wounds from our past, life adjustments, and relationship conflicts can severely influence how we show up from day to day. You deserve the healing and growth to meet your unique goals. I work with each client, prioritizing safety and validation of each concern, as we work together to find relief from the discomfort that brings you here. I am committed to walking along with you, and supporting you in your unique process of healing and growth.

My Background and Approach

I have been practicing therapy for over 16 years and have experience working with children, adults, families, and groups. I have worked in outpatient settings, schools, and in crisis response, using a variety of approaches to help clients find relief and growth. I utilize a warm, integrative, and trauma-focused approach, meeting each client where they are. I aim to learn each unique story, while exploring and building strengths, walking alongside you and helping to identify resources within. I work collaboratively with each client to develop goals that are specific to your needs and interests, while ensuring that we are assessing for progress along the way. I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), in combination with various modalities and approaches tailored to meet each client's unique needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Deciding to seek therapy requires a lot of courage. I believe that you deserve to be seen, validated, to heal, and the growth to achieve your goals. You are worthy, no matter your background and story. You've taken a brave step in the right direction, and I'm here to meet you halfway and to walk with you on your unique journey. The majority of my interests are centered around fostering healthy environments and systems. I am passionate about social justice, advocacy, equity, and learning about all I can in these areas. I am a lifelong learner, and find joy in consistently attending trainings and absorbing new material to incorporate into my practice, so that I can attend to my clients as they deserve. I also believe in the importance of balance and self-care, and prioritize my own well-being through creative outlets, so that I am able to fully show up for my clients and others in my world. I look forward to the privilege of working with you!
