Hello! I am a CMHC who has been practicing for three years. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach primarily using IFS, ACT, and DBT. I am honored to be a fellow traveler on your journey towards becoming aligned with your favorite self! I prioritize meeting you where you are at and working systematically and holistically. I specialize in trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, and lgbtq+. Excited to work with you! :)
I systematically approach therapy from the frame that all parts of a psyche are inherently good, and even maladaptive behavior is coming from a place that makes sense. We then get to know and build trust with those parts so they will feel safe acting in a way that is more functional/aligned.
In the first session, I typically gather information and discuss goals you would like to focus on, as well as discuss current strengths and protective factors.I additionally answer any questions about the therapy process. I try to make it a collaborative space where you are free to ask any questions or share any preferences on how we approach treatment.
