My Approach to Helping
My approach draws from DBT skills to help you manage overwhelming emotions, improve your relationships, and tolerate distress in healthier ways. Mindfulness practices guide you in cultivating present-moment awareness, reducing self-judgment, and connection. Expressive arts therapy can offer creative avenues to explore feelings and gain new perspectives.
Imagine a life where you feel more at peace with yourself, more engaged in your relationships, and clearer about your direction. It's possible to move beyond just coping and start truly living. If you're ready to take the first step towards a more hopeful and empowered future, I invite you to reach out. Let's explore how we can work together
More Info About My Practice
Therapy is a collaborative relationship between the client and the clinician. My approach to therapy is holistic, which allows me to provide a safe space in which my clients can explore and accept who they are. Because of my holistic approach, I implement mind, body, and spirit to help clients understand themselves as a whole person. To facilitate this process of self-discovery, I have a non-directive and supportive manner that encourages openness and trust in the therapeutic process.
I am a highly sensitive person, so I tend to be more aware of subtleties that go unnoticed by others. I am deeply moved by music and the arts. I tend to overthink, so I work to find ways to connect with my emotional self through grounding and being present.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy
American author and philosopher Howard Thurman said, ?Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.? I decided to become a therapist after spending a few years as a technical writer. My journey has not been a direct one, but helping others through therapy is something that makes me come alive. I want to help my clients discover what makes them come alive.
