Psychoanalytic

I have used psychoanalytics to help clients better understand their current behaviors by helping them explore how their past has informed how they view the world, show up in it, and relate to others. The psychoanalytic approach has helped many of my clients become more self-aware and helped them address patterns of behavior they previously didn't recognize.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is widely popular both in my practice and in the therapeutic community as a whole. CBT addresses many diagnoses by identifying and challenging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that decrease your quality of life.

Couples Counseling

I'll be honest, couples counseling is my jam! :-) In sessions, couples have a safe space to have the tough conversations. Together, I work with clients to mend past hurts, develop effective communication strategies, increase intimacy, and help them learn how to play to each other's strengths.

Compassion Focused

Strategies from compassion-focused therapy are intertwined in my work with clients no matter what other interventions are in place. So often, people struggle because they either feel guilt and shame towards themselves, or they are resentful of others. I have seen clients have powerful breakthroughs when they release negative emotions and learn to be more compassionate to themselves and others.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

Cultural competence and sensitivity are cornerstones of my practice. None of us exists in a bubble and effective help starts with understanding the culture of my clients. Understanding a client's culture begins on day one as we extensively discuss history and family of origin. Throughout therapy, cultural constructs are discussed and intertwined in sessions and influence interventions applied. I don't believe I am an effective helper if I solely focus on your symptoms without understanding who you are as a whole person.
