I bring both clinical expertise and intuition to our work together, trusting that deeper insights often emerge when we create space for honest, authentic dialogue. I address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—honoring your individual experience within the context of your culture and community. Through deep listening, non-judgmental support, and compassionate guidance, I'll support your journey toward greater authenticity and wholeness.”

“I predominantly draw from Psychodynamic, Relational-Cultural, & Person Centered counseling theories in my work with clients. I also have experience integrating mindfulness and other skill-based interventions into my treatment approach. ​I like to approach my work with clients in a collaborative, engaged, exploratory, & conversational manner. My goal as your future therapist, therefore, is to provide you with an empathic, validating, caring space where you feel comfortable being your authentic self and opening about experiences across different points in your life. I will assist you consider how the foundational relationships and core experiences across your life may be associated with some of your self-perceptions, ways of relating to other people, as well as other concerns that may be bringing you to therapy.”

“I take a collaborative, trauma-informed approach to therapy. I believe many of the patterns that bring people to therapy (e.g. anxiety, people-pleasing, or a harsh inner critic) started out as brilliant coping strategies/learned methods to stay safe (AND acknowledging how they can keep us feeling stuck now). My aim is to help you build a sense of curiosity, understanding, and compassion toward these patterns or "parts" while supporting new ways of responding that feel more aligned with who you want to be. I may use EMDR, Brainspotting, parts work/IFS, and somatic awareness practices to help process experiences that keep you feeling stuck. My aim is to help you feel more connected to yourself, develop greater self-trust, and move through life with more clarity and choice.”

“My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. Together, we’ll explore and process your experiences, identify patterns or challenges affecting your goals, and build practical skills to manage difficult emotions and complex relationship dynamics in day-to-day life. My clinical approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based, solution-focused, strength-based, existential, and trauma-informed methods to help you feel more grounded and empowered as you navigate the unknown.”

“My approach is evidence-based and whole-body focused. Therapy with me goes beyond just talking about what’s hard, we actively process how your mind and body hold onto stress, trauma, and anxiety so you can heal and reconnect with yourself. I blend multiple therapeutic modalities tailored to your goals, including: Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to gently reprocess traumatic memories Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore and harmonize different parts of who you are Somatic Therapy to tune into body wisdom and release stored nervous system tension Exposure Therapy (ERP) to build confidence and reduce anxiety and OCD symptoms Sessions are active, collaborative, and grounded in warmth.”

“I typically start sessions by checking in: How are you? Updates from the week? Priorities for our session today? I follow my clients' lead in focusing the session, as we need different things on different days. Sometimes we are practicing new coping skills. Sometimes I am holding space while clients speak things out loud for the first time. Sometimes I'm offering reflections and questions to help clients untangle themselves from anxiety/OCD loops. Sometimes I'm offering co-regulation so we can engage with "scary" parts of the self, together. Sometimes we're doing EMDR or ERP work together (ask me more about either of those, if you're curious). Therapy can be a lot of different things. I will typically close sessions by asking for reflections on the session and making space for any comments or concerns that arose from our work.”

“In session, I use a CBT framework. Diagnoses and topics I commonly work with include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD symptoms, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, family conflict, as well as life transitions.”

“I want to help you be the best version of yourself. I mainly work from a psychodynamic framework, but use eclectic interventions and am guided by my client's unique desires, emotions, longstanding patterns and needs. I have had success treating individuals struggling with issues related to interpersonal/relationship difficulties, identity development/stage of life issues, anxiety, cultural adjustment, spiritual questions, fertility difficulties and grief.”

“My approach integrates evidence based treatments with creative and grounding techniques for whole person healing. If you feel stuck after years of trying on your own, change is possible. Your complex trauma or relational shame doesn't have to control your life any longer, let's work on it together. Learn practical tools to manage worry, calm your nervous system, and regain a sense of control in your daily life. Work through feelings of sadness, emptiness, or disconnection with compassionate support. Receive affirming, knowledgeable support that celebrates all aspects of your identity without judgment. Develop safety to heal from painful experiences.”

“I start by listening to what brought you in, what you've already tried, and what you would like to be different in your daily life. As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management with a practical, collaborative approach. We'll look at your symptoms, health history, sleep, and current medications, then talk through options in plain language. I want you to understand the reasoning behind a recommendation and have a say in your care. Follow-up visits are a chance to talk about what's helping, what feels off, and whether the plan needs to change. Questions and concerns are welcome, including uncertainty about medication.”

“My therapeutic approach weaves together DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Thearpy), CBT (Cognative Behavioral Therapy), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Focused interventions to deliver the best care possible to my clients. I specialize in offering therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD/Austim, Neurodiversity, and Queer identities.”

“I provide relationship-focused therapy with body-mind holism based on the best of theory, science and simple human connection. The best research tells us that it is the therapy relationship that heals! To say it more technically, our relationship (meeting you as a unique, distinctly different individual at many intersections of culture, attachment style, racial/ethnic differences, identity, sexuality or gender, personal history, family of origin background, age, life-stage, career development and so on) becomes the basis for helping you heal relationship ruptures of the past and the present--and your relationship WITH YOURSELF. Abuse, trauma, neglect, violence, abandonment, and shame-- all of these are relationship-based injuries. Consequently, I will prioritize building trust, safety, warmth, genuine connection and "gentle mending." It's as if you have a flashlight in the darkness and I must follow you very closely and faithfully, really being PRESENT, and always going at your own pace, not mine, wherever you choose to shine the light.”
