LCSW, 10 years of experience
In my practice, I work relationally and collaboratively with clients to explore the roots of stress, anxiety, and relationship issues. Together, we’ll look at the coping skills that once helped but may no longer serve you, and identify the triggers and patterns keeping you stuck. Using an integrative, systemic approach, we’ll consider how your past and present interactions shape your experiences today. I take a strengths-based, person-centered stance that’s rooted in feminist and LGBTQ-affirming values. I'm an active, engaged therapist—warm, accessible, and not afraid to bring humor into the room when it's helpful. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen and heard, where we can explore your story with curiosity and care, and where growth feels possible.
In our first session we will start to get to know each other and what brings you to therapy. Then, together, we can start to map a plan of of how to begin to address and look deeper at the issues you've raised.
Simply put I believe this work is best done one human to another. I have lived life, I go to therapy and I understand how patterns and old habits affect our lives today. I listen to what you are and are not saying and work collaboratively with clients.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in the same patterns over and over, you're not alone and you don't have to figure it out on your own either.
I use a number of different tools appropriate to the client and the situation from psychodynamic exploration to Internal Family Systems, from DBT to a more a relational approach.
