Hello! I am a seasoned therapist with a genuine passion for helping people navigate the many challenges that life throws your way. With a wealth of experience spanning over a decade, I specialize in providing inclusive care to women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others who are looking for a safe, holistic, and thoughtful therapeutic experience in which to learn more about themselves and gain tools to make life more fulfilling. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and is customized to address each client's unique circumstances, utilizing a range of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Relational Therapy, Feminist and Queer Theories, and Eclectic Therapy. I am dedicated to establishing a safe, affirming, and judgment-free environment where clients can find the support they need to overcome obstacles and embark on a journey towards healing, personal growth, and joy!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, clients can expect an empathetic and non-judgmental environment. We'll start by discussing your background, current challenges, and therapeutic goals. I'll share insights into my approach and the range of modalities we may utilize to address your unique circumstances. Then, we'll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You'll leave the session with a better understanding of what you're facing with an "actions I can take right now" approach. Together, we'll establish a roadmap for your therapy, ensuring that the first session serves as a positive and constructive starting point for your healing and personal growth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
With over a decade of experience in learning and applying a range of therapeutic approaches, I have come to the conclusion that my biggest strength as a therapist is my ability to cultivate powerful and empowering relationships with my clients. I am dedicated to ensuring that our sessions are not only therapeutic but also motivating, growth-focused, and deeply supportive. I am committed to assisting you in discovering your unique life path, one that is free from the unnecessary burdens of anxiety, depression, stress, and overwhelm. My aim is to provide a therapeutic journey that fosters resilience, personal growth, and ultimately guides you toward a more fulfilling and joyful life.

Relational
Relational Therapy is at the heart of my clinical work, and it has profoundly shaped my approach to helping clients. In my practice, I've witnessed the incredible power of this therapeutic modality. It's all about recognizing that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is a key factor in the healing process. With Relational Therapy, I focus on creating a nurturing and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and relational patterns. I believe that meaningful change can occur when clients feel truly heard and understood. Through this approach, I help individuals navigate the complexities of their personal relationships and uncover the underlying dynamics that influence their well-being. Relational Therapy is not just a technique; it's a philosophy that guides my work in fostering profound and lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With over a decade of experience in psychotherapy, I've become a big believer in the power of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT has been a game-changer in my practice. It's like the Swiss Army knife of therapeutic approaches - practical and effective. I've used CBT to help clients identify and tackle their sneaky negative thought patterns, which often fuel anxiety and depression. The beauty of it is that it equips clients with the tools to manage their own minds, promoting lasting change and emotional resilience. It's not just a therapy; it's a skill for life.
Eclectic
In my journey as a clinical social worker, I've developed a deep appreciation for the versatility of Eclectic Therapy. With a decade of multifaceted psychotherapy under my belt, I've discovered that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to helping clients. Eclectic Therapy allows me to draw from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, tailoring my approach to meet each client's unique needs. It's like having a toolbox filled with various techniques and strategies. Whether it's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Relational Therapy, or other modalities, I have the flexibility to adapt and create a personalized treatment plan. This adaptability has been instrumental in my practice, helping clients with a wide array of concerns, from anxiety and depression to complex relational issues. It's all about finding the right therapeutic mix for each individual that makes Eclectic Therapy so effective.
