I believe therapy is a space to better understand yourself, develop a deeper sense of self-trust, and create meaningful change in your life and relationships. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment, while also offering evidence-based therapeutic approaches and practical tools.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem and identity concerns, life transitions, and complex trauma. I also work with couples who want to learn new communication skills, deepen their understanding of one another, and have more fulfilling experiences in their day-to-day lives.
I tailor my approach to each client, drawing from EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, as well as ACT, DBT, and IFS-informed techniques. I am particularly interested in helping clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, values, and patterns so they can respond to themselves and their lives with greater intention and choice.
My background in mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and MBSR informs my belief that meaningful change is possible through both insight and practice.
