I view the therapist-client relationship as one of the biggest tools for understanding, reflection, and healing. Using the relationship as the foundation, I work to help clients understand the ways in which their experiences are impacting their current relationships with themselves and others. I see the client as the expert in their life, and the therapist an honored guide. 

Embedded in my approach is a belief that it is vital to bring an understanding of the ways in which systems of oppression have and continue to impact your experience in the world. I use an eclectic mix of modalities with clients and work to cater my approach to the client’s needs. I find myself rooted in person-centered, trauma informed care and I utilize relational, solution focused interventions to examine the ways in which oppression and societal expectations contribute to your mental health. I often use techniques from DBT, internal family systems, and polyvagal theory. 

I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan, including adults, adolescents and college students.  I have particular experience and interest in working with clients going through major life transitions, relationship challenges, and more. 

I see therapy as a safe space to practice vulnerability, bravery, and showing up for yourself through life’s most difficult moments.
