I work with adolescents and adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, eating disorders, and substance use. I also work with LGBTQ+ clients and value creating a space where individuals feel comfortable being fully themselves and exploring their identity, relationships, and sense of self.
My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and accepted exactly as they are. While therapy can involve difficult emotions and experiences, I also believe there is room for lightness, humor, and genuine connection when appropriate. I balance validation with gentle encouragement, helping clients feel understood while also supporting them in moving toward their goals.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), tailoring each to the individual's needs. I take a holistic view of therapy, recognizing that each person is more than their symptoms or diagnosis. I believe therapy is a partnership, and my goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build self-compassion and confidence, and feel more equipped to navigate life's challenges.
If you're considering therapy, I'd be glad to connect.
