I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens, integrating person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory, acceptance-based therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. My style is flexible, warm, light-hearted, and gentle. I believe in creating an authentic therapeutic relationship—one where you feel heard, safe, and genuinely connected. With me, therapy won’t feel like a sterile, blank-slate experience. Instead, you’ll meet a real human who shows up with you in the good, the hard, and everything in between. We may laugh, reflect deeply, or sit with hard emotions together—whatever the moment calls for.

​

I tailor my approach to each individual, combining evidence-based practices to meet your unique needs. We'll collaborate to identify what you're looking for and adjust along the way. I see you as the expert of your own experience—my role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, support, and trust. My hope is that you leave each session feeling empowered, believed, and safe enough to engage in deep personal work. Together, we’ll develop and pursue your goals at a pace that feels right for you.

 

My areas of focus include:

• Adjustment Difficulties: Navigating significant life transitions and identity changes

• Identity Exploration: Personal identity development, including changes in spiritual or religious beliefs

• Relationship Concerns: Attachment wounds, boundary setting, codependency, and family dynamics

• Self-Esteem & Self-Compassion: Shame resilience, body image, and strength-based support

• Trauma: Emotional, verbal, sexual, physical, and relational trauma

• Anxiety & Depression: Generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and major depression

• Functional Challenges: ADHD, executive functioning, time blindness, and time management
