My clients are resilient, likeable, and creative people who often find themselves experiencing a sense of longing for home, family, and belonging. Because of complicated relationships with family or difficult childhood experiences, many of us grow into adulthood feeling unsure of our ability to have healthy relationships and a life that is reflective of our deepest needs, values, and desires. While we likely have a rational understanding that people appreciate who we are, our nervous system may leave us feeling disconnected and unsure of ourselves. My work with clients addresses this phenomenon. Beyond cognitive strategies and mindfulness practices, my clients begin to experience themselves differently in the world as we target the physiological region where those feelings of disconnect exist – your nervous system.

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

Over time, clients report an increased sense of well-being in their important relationships, a greater sense of agency at home and work, and a newfound ease in their ability to invite closeness, authentic expression, and connection without guilt, self-criticism, or resentment.

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

I enjoy helping clients get unstuck from old, familiar patterns to discover new ways of relating to oneself and others. Together, we will build your mental and emotional resilience, activate powerful self-love and compassion, and grow your ability to create new patterns, stories, and lived experiences.

My treatment methods

Humanistic

Humanistic therapy adopts a holistic approach that focuses on free will, human potential, and self-discovery. This modality aims to help you develop a strong and healthy sense of self, explore your feelings, find meaning, and focus on your strengths.

Feminist

Feminist therapy is an approach that takes into consideration the unique challenges that women face as a result of bias, stereotyping, oppression, discrimination, and other factors, and how these stressors can challenge our mental health. Feminist therapy can help by identifying societal, cultural, and political causes and solutions to a range of issues faced by women.

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic therapy can be helpful in increasing one's self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behaviors, relationships, and situations. I may incorporate psychodynamic therapy in treatment if there are important events or patterns from the past that are showing up in aspects of your present-day life.
