As a therapist, I try to create as best a space for you to feel safe. Not simply physically, but emotionally as well. I bring authenticity and an unmasked approach to this work, combined with evidence-based technique and theory. One of the greatest indicators of change starts with the relationship. I offer to join you on this journey, listen to you openly and free from judgement, and hold up the mirror when needed. My position is not as an expert on your life, but rather as a support and safe witness to whichever parts of you that you choose to share.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
Approach Description: My approach first looks at the individual as a whole, and working with them to identify which directions to explore. As a clinician, I find it is imperative to not only consider the individual, but also consider the systems which we exist within. I consider myself to be an Eclectic practitioner, as I pull from several areas of technique that focus on creating supportive frameworks that allow you to comfortably face the dark.
