I have extensive experience partnering with individuals from a variety of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. I have high interest in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, sexual assault, life transitions, grief, disabilities, executive functioning, and relationships. I apply a strengths-based, holistic approach that tailors treatment to each individual’s particular needs. I am a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), certified in Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), and practice cultural humility to cultivate a non-judgmental, safe space where the therapeutic relationship can continue to evolve & progress.
I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed approaches, Mindfulness, and Contemporary Psychodynamics to foster self-acceptance and build resilience.
I value transparency, equity, loyalty, and unconditional acceptance which I emulate in each session. I am passionate about partnering with clients to improve their daily lives and achieve their desired outcomes.
