My approach to counseling is grounded in uncovering and nurturing your strengths while holding space for your humanity with understanding and respect. Together, we work to explore core motivations, beliefs, and any barriers to living authentically. Therapy can often feel overwhelming or uncertain, so I strive to humanize the process, offering practical skills and tools that support living in your truth.
I use an eclectic therapeutic framework that includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Systems Theory, Relational-Cultural Theory, and the Liberation Health Model. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which helps process anxieties, traumatic events, and phobias.
I work with a variety of populations and issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ individuals, religious trauma, neurodivergence, adolescents, young adults, mid-life adults, parenting, and postpartum individuals.
