Great to meet you!

Most of my clients work with me on managing relational anxiety (in romantic, social, and work settings). I have been working with couples and individuals of all ages as a therapist since 2017. In a previous career, my worked focused on identity exploration, and dialogue facilitation--practices I now weave into my therapeutic approach.

My approach to therapy

I am committed to showing up with warmth, curiosity, compassion, and a bit of humor in my approach. I employ an eclectic mix of psychodynamic principles, internal family systems parts work, cognitive behavioral therapy tools, and mindfulness-based strategies. This is to say, I support clients in better understanding who they are, and how/why they show up the way they do. Throughout this exploration, I work with clients to develop the tools and resilience to manage their presenting problems; while supporting them in their efforts to become the best version of themselves.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions with a better understanding of their own thoughts, feelings, behavior and the origins of these interconnected experiences. They may leave with a new perspective on their presenting problem and tools to manage their current stressors.
