About My Clients

As an adult you may have to unexpectedly deal with a difficult loss, work through prior trauma or manage overwhelming anxiety or depression. Life can feel beyond stressful and at times- incredibly cruel. We are social beings and there is no reason for us to face these hurdles alone. I view therapy as one tool at our disposal for healing- I believe that social connection, exercise, expressive activities such as dance and yoga, reiki, spirituality and community play a crucial part as well.

My Background and Approach

Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do, but to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart- that’s true strength.” – Anonymous. My practice is inclusive. I do not pretend to be an expert on any culture, orientation or religion and I am constantly open to learning and listening about your own experience and your own background and identity. Using an evidence-based approach to understand your story and support you through what you are working to overcome; my approach is strength-based and includes elements of family systems, ACT, DBT, CBT, mindfulness and expressive therapies. I focus on a growth mindset and take a holistic approach opposed to focusing simply on reduction of symptoms. ​ Feel free to contact me to see if I would be a good fit for what you are looking for!
