What I'm About

I truly believe therapy is all about feeling heard, understood, and forming a real connection with your therapist. That's why I like to keep things relaxed, throw in some humor, and bring warmth to our sessions. As your therapist, I'm here to put in the work alongside you and be my genuine self to build a strong connection with you. Therapy gives us the chance to forge new connections, question old beliefs, and navigate those tough emotions together!

Sessions With Me

When we first meet, we'll chat about what you're looking for and what you're comfortable with. I get that opening up can be tough - so we'll take things at your own pace! Whether you prefer a therapist who listens and supports, one who pushes you to grow, or someone to help guide the conversation when you're feeling lost, we can figure out what works best for you. Maybe it's a bit of everything! No matter where you're at, I'm grateful to connect with you in a space where you feel secure.

My Favorites

One of my favorite parts of therapy is being able to pull together multiple approaches to make the best combination for you -- however, my favorites tend to lean toward psychodynamic, somatic, and emotion-focused modalities. I also hold specialized training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Family Based Treatment (Maudsley Method), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. If you're interested in more eclectic work, your girl loves being creative!
