Hello! I have been practicing individual therapy for 6+ years, after completing my trauma informed and holistic training with Lesley University. I have worked with clients in both group and individual settings, with a particular focus on trauma, anxiety, depression, change of life, habit change, ADHD/neurodivergence, and substance misuse. I completed my EMDR certification to further my ability to offer trauma informed care. I also utilize my 200 hour trauma-informed Yoga Teacher Training to support incorporating a holistic, somatic, and mind-body approach.

My approach to therapy is that everyone is capable and inherently able to discover the routines, thought patterns, boundaries, and understanding of self that helps to support you meeting your needs and moving towards your goals. I utilize a holistic approach that incorporates goals we determine together. That may include cognitive strategies such as CBT, DBT, or CPT; trauma informed or narrative exploration, acceptance commitment therapy, motivational therapy, EMDR, somatic therapy, or solution focused therapy. I use a strength based approach that helps put you in the "driver seat" of your treatment. I tend to have a warm, participatory style, and encourage the use of humor, but also strive to create a space that feels safe to explore the therapy topics that are less comfortable, more challenging, or feel more daunting. I encourage clients to give me feedback about what works and what doesn't feel like it is working, so we can best support your care.

I know choosing the right therapist can feel like a scary or overwhelming task, or you may be ready to dive right in. I use the first session to review the intake packet, discuss goals for therapy and what may be the most realistic types of treatment or sessions for you, and to explore any questions and concerns you may have. We will explore past therapeutic experiences (if applicable) and what you are hoping to accomplish that is similar, or different. I encourage to to take a few sessions to determine if we feel like a good therapeutic fit!
