I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for working together, one characterized by compassion, curiosity, open-mindedness, humor, and genuineness. While valuing evidence-based interventions, I also seek to work collaboratively with each individual to personalize interventions in such a way that honors every person’s unique life story, relational experiences, cultural background, lived identities, and personality. Additionally, I strive to understand each person’s strengths and resources, and how those can be used to help reach an individual’s therapeutic goals.

I specialize in working with individuals who are having difficulty regulating intense emotions, have chronic depression or anxiety, have experienced trauma, are struggling with self-harm or suicidal ideation, have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, are looking to learn new coping skills, are struggling with life transitions, are experiencing interpersonal difficulties, or are exploring their gender identity or sexual orientation.
