I am most passionate about working with those who feel uneasy about their relationship dynamics and want to move toward creating healthy relationships. I have worked extensively with people from a variety of racial, ethnic, and economic backgrounds coming to terms with concerns about their relationships. As a social worker by training, I recognize that there are many societal messages and real institutional challenges that make us who we are. These ideas have a place in our work. I believe the most important tool in therapy is a strong relationship between the therapist and the client, and I'm committed to building that with you. Together we examine your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to try to understand the root of your patterns and create a greater sense of autonomy.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I will first hear from you why you are seeking therapy at this time, and ask clarifying questions so I can begin to understand the context around how you are feeling. I will ask a few basic questions about your mental and physical health history, and some questions about your day-to-day life so I can begin painting a picture of what it's like to be you. I will always leave time at the end to check in with you about how the session felt, and answer any questions you may have for me.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have worked with individuals who have relationship trauma for the past 7 years. I have a knack for both creating a therapeutic environment of safety, while also pushing you to see things differently and trust yourself in new ways.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I ideally work with individuals who are experiencing relationship distress and are interested in examining their patterns and history, and open to exploring the underlying emotions therein. I also enjoy working with those going through major life transitions, struggling with all the normal questions of “what parts of myself am I leaving behind?” and “how do I know I’m on the right track?”
