Hello! I am passionate about helping individuals gain the skills to cope with everyday stressors and life transitions. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions ranging from school, work, the perinatal period, and motherhood. My approach is warm and down-to-earth, and my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where clients can truly be themselves. I combine compassion with evidence based approaches to create a treatment plan tailed to you. I love the opportunity to work with clients from various cultural backgrounds and understand how it can integrate into our work together.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and obtain any background information that you think is helpful for me to know. Together, we will set clear and specific goals that help you measure your progress. Therapy is a unique and individual experience. I frequently check-in with my clients to measure our progress together. No hard feelings if we need to pause or refer out, I understand the struggle of finding a therapist that fits you! I believe everyone should have access to quality mental health care, so please reach out if you have any questions about cost

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have advanced training in mindfulness and somatic work, cognitive therapies, and women's issues to support clients on their healing journey. I believe in the power of therapy to heal generational trauma and practice restorative justice. Whether it's learning new skills or processing your past, I walk with you on your road to recovery.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy is my go-to intervention when my clients are feeling stuck in life. Together, we identify your strengths and barriers to live the life you want.

Trauma Informed Care

Trauma informed care means creating a safe space, whether virutal or in person. My clients are welcome to let me know what makes them feel comfortable, and whether to start, stop, or keep going with certain interventions and discussions. Trauma informed care is an ongoing part of the therapeutic relationship.

Trauma-Focused CBT

My goal with utilizing trauma-focused CBT is to gently work with my client to identify their stuck points and explore reframing their experiences. Trauma-focused CBT aims to reduce symptoms commonly associated with PTSD such as flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and low self-esteem.
