I am passionate about working with individuals navigating stress, overwhelm, and burnout.

My credentials and experience are irrelevant if I can’t do one thing – create a strong therapeutic relationship. I focus on building a deep understanding of my client’s unique needs, experiences, and goals. I don’t believe anything is “wrong” with my clients. Clients learn ways to survive difficult environments. Sometimes those survival skills stop working when the situation changes.

It’s hard to let go of ways of acting that were protective in the past. Bringing old skills into new environments can cause exhaustion, confusion, and frustration. I help my clients identify what they are ready to leave in the past and learn how to find peace in the present.

I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, feminist theory, critical theory, and person-centered approaches.

I believe it’s impossible to separate mental and physical wellness from our environment. Systemic inequality contributes to stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. While individual therapy alone doesn’t change these things, it can provide support while we all work to engage with and change our community. I welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds and strive to create a therapeutic environment where no topic is off limits.
