My Approach to Therapy

Thank you for learning more about my practice where I see individuals and couples. I am a seasoned, active therapist who will deeply listen to you and offer validation, support, and coping strategies. Working collaboratively with clients to build trust, safety, and understanding are essential parts of the work we do together. We will work on your unique path to sustained growth, development, and empowerment to help you to become the healthiest version of yourself. I specialize in working with people who experience anxiety, trauma, relationship concernsmarital distress, and depression. I have extensive training to address the specific concerns of women, LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, creative and artistic individuals, and clients from different racial, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds. Since every journey to wellness is unique, I do not utilize a one-size-fits-all approach, but collaborate with clients on how best we can work together. You can expect a tailored experience of therapy co-constructed together. Given that each person has their own unique story and set of experiences, we will work together on how best we can help you get the most out of therapy. You can also expect that safety, connection, and authenticity will be prioritized. In a time so many of us are grappling with extra stress and many transitions, it is my hope to help you feel more connected to yourself and others, deeply understood, and supported. I offer a free phone consultation to help you decide if my practice may be a good fit for your concerns. Day and evening appointments available.

Theoretical Influences that Guide My Work

I am integrative and holistic in my approach to mental health and offer clients information on the mind-body connection; how we care and treat our bodies directly affects our mental health and how we feel emotionally directly affects how we feel physically. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, but work collaboratively with clients to establish the direction and pace of our work together.
