I believe that our connection, rooted in mutual respect, trust, and empathy, is the cornerstone of effective therapy. Together, we will nurture a collaborative and supportive dynamic to create a solid foundation for your journey towards processing trauma, fostering self-acceptance, and achieving personal growth and transformation. Whether you're aiming to overcome trauma or to gain empowerment and mastery over your life, I am here to assist you in discovering what brings meaning and fulfillment to your life.
My approach is integrative, holistic, and relational, drawing from evidence-based practices tailored to your unique strengths and needs, including ACT, DBT, CBT, and Schema Therapy. I am also certified in CBASP for chronic depression, and trained in EMDR to support you through a healing-centered and trauma-informed lens.
Reaching out to begin therapy can be an intimidating step to take, whether it's your first time in therapy or a continuation of your journey. Please feel free to send a note with any questions that might pop up as you consider whether I might be a fit. I am also able to offer supervision and consultation for associate therapists seeking licensure.
