I believe that change and growth are possible for everyone. Whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem or everyday stressors of life, therapy can help guide you to turn inward, in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. With a background in trauma, I believe that emotions stay and live within the body; therefore, it is important to allow oneself to pause and feel the emotion. In therapy, I will work hard to create a safe space to allow the client to be their most authentic self. My approach to therapy is a collaborative process, to help guide you to feel empowered and unlock the best version of yourself. I focus on identifying the unconscious thought and behavior patterns that are shaped in childhood. These patterns are what drive the emotions and actions in our everyday lives. I enjoy guiding people to become more conscious of harmful behaviors/thoughts, improve on creating boundaries, communication skills, sitting in the discomfort of an emotion, and to utilize the strengths you bring to the table already.

As a therapist, I aim to foster a safe and authentic space where my clients are able to openly process their thoughts, emotions, struggles, and behaviors without judgment. I greatly enjoy supporting the process of self-exploration, delving into one’s past as a means to better understand their present, and celebrating and empowering the strength and resilience of my clients. I deeply believe in one’s right to self-determination, that each individual is the expert in their own life, and that we are all deserving of a space to feel heard, emotionally held, and supported in our mental health journey. My approach is person-centered and strengths based, utilizing a blend of techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, solutions-focused therapy (SFT), and mindfulness. I also weave in tenants from attachment theory, systems theory, trauma-informed practice, and motivational interviewing. As a queer social worker, I strive to create a safe and affirming space for folx within the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as am passionate about providing culturally sensitive and responsive care to every individual, especially to those with marginalized identities. I look forward to supporting you in your healing journey!

I enjoy empowering young people to pursue peace and healing within themselves, become aware of patterns that have been holding them back, & become confident in their own abilities. I believe we all experience our own unique set of circumstances that subconsciously affect our emotional well-being, our relationships, how we see ourselves, and our interactions in the world. I use a holistic approach in therapy, which means, I look at all aspects of your internal and external environment to help you gain understanding, and discover your best self to begin healing. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults and families using a blend of eco-systemic family structural therapy, behavioral modification, cognitive behavioral therapy, and humanistic personalized approaches in therapy. In family work, I help families identify and reframe negative cycles, and provide guidance on how to make positive changes. Even if you’re not positive if therapy is right for your child or you, feel free to reach out and state your concerns and/or questions. I strongly admire each client I have met for their bravery in the therapy process. Sometimes all you need is someone will provide a safe space, and offer you a different perspective than your own. I hope to do that for you!

Life is a complex journey that challenges us as we move through it. All the experiences we encounter affect the way we interact and interpret our internal and external worlds. When these worlds become overwhelming, associated with negative beliefs, and/or affect our daily functioning it may be time to find support. I believe that we all have the ability to overcome barriers and obstacles that come our way throughout this journey. Each of us can grow and change through the very strengths we have within ourselves. Sometimes these strengths can be hard to access when we are going through a challenging time. However, through our work together I believe we can access these resilient characters that lie below the surface. My goal as a therapist is to provide my clients with a safe space to explore, process, heal and grow. I use an eclectic approach that is person-centered and trauma-informed. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in the areas of trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity. I also have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, families, and individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities.

I believe in cultivating an honest and secure relationship between myself and each client. We will pay attention to relevant interpersonal dynamics that present themselves throughout our therapeutic work. Our prior experiences and significant events greatly impact the way that we relate to others and connect to the world. This can make it difficult to be transparent and vulnerable in therapy. We will first work collaboratively to establish trust and set expectations for our therapeutic work. Throughout my time in practice I have worked with people who have experienced trauma, eating disorders, mood disorders and substance use disorders. In therapy we will look at the ways in which these things impact your life and internal world. We will explore areas that need softness in order to promote healing and internal growth. It can be incredibly intimidating to start this process because so much of it is unknown. I am always grateful to have the opportunity to learn about you as an individual and be with you on your journey.

I enjoy working with young adults into their 30's and beyond who are struggling with any level of anxiety or depression. As our world attempts to simplify through technology and continues to change, it brings with it a changing culture and way of life that is not always helpful for our mental health. Many of us tend to put the world on our shoulders, but forget to care for ourselves. The pressure to "be successful" and fit society's expectations and timelines is a lot to carry. Rather than just managing this anxiety, we can figure out what goals and values are truly your own. I love helping clients as they navigate life transitions and relationships, build coping skills, practice effective communication, and set boundaries. I believe that by recognizing our resilience, challenging perspectives, and growing self-esteem, we can bring more peace of mind within our own lives. This makes space for more joy and self-love. Though I am able to integrate different therapy styles, I focus on maintaining an empathetic, warm, and non-judgmental approach. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is the foundation of effective therapy. If you are new to therapy, feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail with any questions or concerns, I'd love to help!

Sometimes life is challenging: situationally, emotionally, spiritually. Sometimes you can pinpoint the issue; while other times it may be hard to identify, and even more difficult to understand your thoughts, feelings, & everything that comes with them. I believe as a clinician, it is so important to encourage people to feel their feelings with self-compassion. My approach to therapy is empowering, understanding, and direct. I love to encourage and challenge my clients, while meeting them where they are and allowing them to lead me where they want to go. ••• One of my favorite things to do in therapy is to work with clients to mindfully deal with these difficult emotions - to ride the wave and not let it consume you. This includes identifying your emotions, accepting their presence and impermanence, investigating triggers, and letting go of the need to suppress or control your emotions. ••• I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to any type of therapy. As a therapist, you could have the best interventions and say the most insightful things, but without having a connection with your client, none of that matters. Creating a safe, authentic, and collaborative space where you can express yourself without judgement is my goal. •••

Being human can be overwhelming, confusing and painful. Perhaps these challenges have come on suddenly, built up over time or felt to have always been. Despite this predicament, I am confident from first-hand experience in the transformative power of therapy to help clients shed what can feel like a constricted life and re-gain an authentic and empowered sense of self. My experience includes those suffering from addictions, going through major life transitions, at various stages of life, and those who experience religious trauma. I have experience working with LGBTQ population and provide gender-affirming care. My therapeutic style is largely determined by both the needs and desires of the clients, providing always a warm and non-judgmental space for any needed conversation as well as more directive approaches to target distress, expose cognitive distortions and provide relief from the symptoms that cause the most struggle. When relevant to our work together, I keep in my mind a larger cultural and ecological context in which injustice and suffering exist. I consider myself a climate-aware therapist and prepared to receive the anxiety and depression of relating to a world with on-going environmental degradation.
