About My Clients

In my practice, I begin with a comprehensive assessment, collaborate on treatment goals, and then work steadily alongside my clients to build both intra- and interpersonal skills. I have significant clinical experience in trauma-focused treatment, informed by brain-based science and developmental theory.

My Background and Approach

My approach is humanistic, client-centered, and framed by compassion. My focus is on fostering an open, supportive therapeutic environment that welcomes curiosity, and encourages clients to try on new patterns of thinking and behavior. Making even gentle changes takes effort and practice; no one wants to feel discouraged or stuck in a painful place, and I like to honor that wish to decrease distress and find greater contentment. I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible. To learn more about my availability, please reach out to our Client Experience team by emailing or calling.
