About My Clients

My clients may experience depression, social anxiety, OCD, grief, trauma and PTSD, and relationship difficulties. Many want to process the past, thrive in the present, and feel hopeful about the future.

My Background and Approach

My approach is warm and practical. I use exposure and acceptance therapies along with CBT and DBT and a few others. Our time together will be a safe space for you to share and process life events, boost self-esteem, improve relationships, learn ways to handle emotions, cope, and feel safe, or other goals you choose to work on. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that most mental health symptoms are a human response to trauma, and there is no shame in being human. I believe all humans have immense worth and I feel lucky to be able to help people grow to see their own worth without the prerequisites taught by family/society. I believe we all need emotional support and that it is extremely courageous to reach out for help! I believe that healing is possible and provide small and practical steps in every session.
