About My Clients
Hi there! Still searching through endless therapist profiles? I get it - finding the right fit can be quite a journey! Whether you're navigating Trauma, Adult ADHD, or seeking support for a teen with Anxiety/Depression, you've landed in a space that values authenticity. I'm here to walk alongside you, and invite you to come as you are. No masks, just a warm and genuine space to make the healing process a collaborative and positive experience.
My Background and Approach
Using a creative blend of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered, and Trauma-Focused/Informed approaches, therapy with me is personalized to ensure you feel supported and empowered. With compassion and curiosity, together we'll explore skills for emotional regulation and awareness (naming and understanding what we're feeling, and what to do when strong feelings come) interpersonal effectiveness (healthy communication to maintain relationships, conflict resolution, and boundaries) distress tolerance (handling uncomfortable emotions with effective coping skills), and mindfulness (awareness and acceptance of the present moment). With an integrative and holistic approach, I ensure that therapy with me is individualized to YOUR experience and goals - therapy should be unique and isn't a one-size-fits-all all experience!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I understand the experience of being in environments where it's not always easy to be our authentic selves - you are allowed and deserving to take up space. The healing process isn't linear, and growth can be scary. With the right combination of empathy, collaboration (and maybe a little bit of humor), we can start the healing journey together! My salient identities (Black, cisgender woman, LGBTQ+ allied, Neurodivergent) allow me to authentically encourage others and celebrate individual differences and all of our uniqueness. My role in our sessions is to provide unconditional positive regard, validate your feelings, and encourage you to share your internal world with me without fear of judgment. This not only makes the therapeutic relationship authentic and genuine, but it also demonstrates true empathy and acceptance.
