People often come to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or overwhelmed and aren't sure why. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma/complex PTSD, and childhood emotional neglect (CEN). I particularly enjoy working with highly sensitive people (HSP), neurodiverse individuals, and adult survivors of childhood trauma. I enjoy working with adults age 21 and older who are motivated to create meaningful change in life and work, and deepen self-understanding. My clients enjoy my direct, warm style and sense of humor.

Treatment Approach
- 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.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- 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.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: My approach is integrative, which means that I incorporate various therapy approaches in my work. I have training in psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and "mind-body" approaches.

Integrative psychotherapy refers to therapy that combines various evidence-based approaches (or "modalities") to address the unique needs of each individual client. An integrative approach is appropriate for many clients struggling with a wide array of common mental health concerns. The aim of this type of psychotherapy is to address all aspects of a person's life, including thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may seem confusing or mysterious. My goal is to help my clients more clearly understand their experiences in order to enhance well-being and increase flexibility in responding to challenge and conflict.
My approach to psychotherapy is highly person-centered and collaborative, and I aim to provide a safe, supportive environment for my clients to deepen their understanding of themselves and learn new ways of coping with life's challenges. I draw from various evidence-based approaches in my work, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, mindfulness, sensorimotor psychotherapy and other trauma-informed approaches.
