Great to meet you!

I work with adults with diverse backgrounds and identities, presenting with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, sleep and behavior problems. I aim to create a containing, judgement-free, and supportive therapy space. I work with individuals who want to look inward, explore what is important to them, learn tools to overcome anxiety, pain, addiction, and trauma, and strive to build a therapeutic alliance based on trust, authenticity, warmth, and ease.

My approach to therapy

I have training in evidence-based treatments such as CBT, ACT, and DBT as well as specialized training in Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD, and CBT for Insomnia. I collaborate with my clients to help them identify their goals and create a treatment plan to assist them in moving towards their values. I strive to create a personalized treatment plan that is based in science and yet unique to each individual.

What you can expect from me

Healing happens through connection and by improving communication and ways of coping, we can begin living more fulfilling and connected lives. Through trust and a strong alliance, I empower my clients to engage with helpful coping skills, improve their relationships, and increase self awareness/compassion to overcome challenges and find peace.
