My Approach to Helping

Therapy is a journey and the journey looks different for everyone. Together we will discover your own joys and struggles in the process.

My path to becoming a therapist began with my personal journey towards purpose and an understanding of self. I practice from a strengths-based perspective, helping clients recognize and utilize the tools and abilities they already possess to address challenges that arise in life. As we continue our work together, cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic methods, coupled with mindfulness, form the basis for our process. Together, we will devise manageable, strategic goals and a plan to get there. Each client is unique and there is no one size fits all approach. Flexibility, trust, and openness are key to the experience.

More Info About My Practice

I believe we all have capacity to change and that understanding and accepting ourselves is the path to purpose and meaning. I am personally passionate about environmental issues and increasing access to mental health care.
