In our work together, we'll focus on identifying your inner strengths, building coping tools rooted in your values, and creating a meaningful, realistic path toward healing. Emotional pain is something we often try to avoid, but real growth begins when we allow ourselves to fully experience and understand those feelings. My approach centers around shifting from emotional avoidance to emotional acceptance. I work through an attachment-based lens, recognizing how early experiences shape our current relationships and emotional patterns. I also frequently incorporate self-compassion practices to help you relate to yourself with more kindness and care.

Approach Description: I specialize in emotion-focused and attachment-based therapies to support clients in navigating their emotional experiences and enhancing important relationships. Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) helps individuals explore and process their emotions in a safe, supportive environment, enabling them to gain deeper insights and develop healthier coping strategies. By focusing on the emotional experience at the heart of issues, I work with clients to help them connect with their feelings (instead of avoiding them) and achieve meaningful change.
Incorporating attachment-based methods, I emphasize the importance of early relationships and how they influence current behavior and relationship patterns. This approach helps clients understand how their attachment patterns impact their interactions, their relationships, and their own self view. Doing so can help in fostering more secure and fulfilling relationships overall.

I'm a psychologist with experience in therapy, research, and teaching. In my therapy, I work with an attachment lens, and see value in attending to emotional injuries and pain, while also exploring the influence of early experiences. I strive to be culturally responsive and humble, and I often consult current empirical research in order to make sure each of my clients is getting the best and most updated care available. I believe in strengths-based practice, which often means I'll work to help you realize that you're more capable than you believe yourself to be.
I have special interests and expertise in couples therapy, gender-affirming care, grief counseling, and working with LGBTQIA2S+ clients. I am a queer-affirming therapist, and center acceptance and openness in my practice.
