My vibe is open, warm, and compassionate. I value choice above all else in the therapy room, meaning I won't ever force anything. I am a client-driven therapist and believe in making the therapeutic power dynamic equal. I use a psychodynamic lens, along with IFS, ACT, mindfulness, self-compassion, EMDR, and somatic experiencing.
I believe trauma is not our fault, and healing from it is a choice we can make. I have experience working with adults withchildhood trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, and general life transitions/stress. Maybe you've gone to therapy before and learned some coping skills but are ready to dig deeper into the roots that caused it in the first place. As a psychodynamic therapist, I aim to help you find and understand patterns in your behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
I can bring a unique perspective of lived experience with mental illness (while journeying through healing) and truly understanding how you're feeling, while also having the clinical experience and knowledge to help you process through it.
