Great to meet you!

We all have goals, strengths, needs, and difficulties that present themselves daily. If you have been impacted by increased stress or trauma, a new diagnosis, need more coping skills, are becoming familiar with mental health or this is your 10th round of therapy, I welcome you. I seek to provide a nonjudgmental, safe space for us to explore where healing and recovery take place in our lives. Intersectionality is a key component of my practice, so every aspect of your identity is welcome here.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I can help by providing psychoeducation to reduce shame, empathy to increase acceptance and vulnerability, as well as a number of evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Inquiry, and Resilience Building to work through trauma and its impacts as well as everyday life.

What you can expect from our first session

If you’re here, you’ve reached a place in your life that requires immense courage and strength, so first and foremost I would like to recognize that. Secondly, your story is unique and should be held with respect and honor as you venture into therapy. As a practitioner, I welcome you into this space of healing.
