My Approach to Helping
January 1, 2020, I celebrated the new year with friends and family. Like many of you, I had a whole laundry list of resolutions for how to "live my best life," while juggling family and a career. That all came to a screeching halt as schools, businesses, and communities shut down across the country due to COVID-19. And like you, I had to completely re-evaluate my personal and professional life, and make a whole new list of priorities.
The pandemic may be over, but many are still fighting an epidemic of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, lost intimacy, and social isolation. I began private practice in 2021 as part of my commitment to helping people and organizations to accelerate healing and growth from our collective trauma (with a big "T"). My vision is centered on "helping clients live the lives they want, and love the lives they live."
My approach combines cognitive behavioral, narrative, and solution-focused therapies with training in emotion focused, Gottman, and sex therapy. My work centers cultural humility—I listen and seek to understand clients' beliefs and experiences, clarify goals, and, importantly, find solutions to life’s challenges.
