Hey there,
Our emotions are a core part of what makes us human, yet many of us were never taught how to understand or work with them in a healthy way. I believe therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re feeling, and develop practical tools that help you move through life with more clarity and confidence. My role is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your experiences without judgment and build skills that extend beyond our sessions.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual’s needs. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while grounding our work in a person-centered and humanistic perspective. This means I value authenticity, empathy, and meeting you where you are rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
In our work together, we may focus on building emotional regulation skills, strengthening self-awareness, improving relationships, or developing healthier coping strategies. I strive to help clients learn how to notice, feel, and accept their emotions without harsh self-criticism, while also identifying meaningful steps toward the life they want to live. Therapy with me is both reflective and practical — a balance of insight, skill-building, and compassionate support.
