I have a passion for working with teens and adolescents. Oftentimes, this stage of life is particularly vulnerable and isolating. I help these clients feel connected and supported while working on common issues for this age, such as self-esteem, body image, social anxiety, etc.

Highly Sensitive People are sadly often overlooked, invalidated, or made to feel like they are "too much". As a highly sensitive person myself, I hope to help these individuals appreciate and celebrate their unique traits while learning how to protect and care for themselves in a world that may not understand their sensitivity.

I have extensive experience working with individuals who have anxiety and/or panic attacks. In addition to my clinical work, I have dedicated time to researching these issues and the most effective ways to cope with them. My clients learn a variety of skills to help stabilize them, which allows us to safely go deeper and explore the thoughts and experiences that may be at the root of the fear they experience.

Using CBT, I help clients identify thought distortions and negative core beliefs that impact their world view and self image. By exploring these beliefs together, we can replace them with healthier and more balanced thoughts, which can lead to meaningful changes in emotions and behaviors.

ACT encourages people to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them or feeling shame for them. This treatment aims to decrease avoidance and increase psychological flexibility, so we’re able to be more present in our lives and live out our personal values.

We can feel grief for a variety of different losses in our lives — the loss of possibility, and options; the shattering of a perception or belief you once held; the death or loss of someone or something you cared deeply for; being diagnosed with a chronic illness or developing a health condition. Therapy provides a space to grieve the loss you are experiencing —whatever it may be — learn how to cope, and help the loss feel a little lighter as you carry it with you.

An attachment wound may show up as insecurity in relationships, difficulty being alone, fears of abandonment or betrayal, hesitation to open up to others, desire to keep people at arm's length, or constantly looking for reasons to end relationships. Through therapy, we'll identify how your attachment wound occurred and use a variety of approaches to clean out the wound — so healing can begin and fear won't be in the driver's seat going forward in relationships.

Trauma can occur in many different forms and frequencies – it can be a single event or an accumulation of several smaller interactions over time. You may notice yourself scanning your environment, trying to predict things, and feeling on edge. In trauma therapy, your experiences can be shared safely and witnessed with compassion. We will process events you have experienced, at a pace that is comfortable with you, and untangle the ways your trauma may be impacting your present-day life.

I gravitate toward narrative therapy because I believe in the power of stories to shape how we see ourselves and our world. I’m passionate about helping clients uncover the narratives driving their thoughts and behaviors, especially those rooted in attachment experiences. By separating problems from identity, I help clients rewrite their stories in ways that honor their strengths. If you’re seeking a therapist who values your story and empowers meaningful change, I’d be honored to support you.

Schema therapy integrates elements of cognitive-behavioral, attachment, and emotion-focused approaches to help clients identify and heal deep-rooted patterns, or schemas, formed early in life. These schemas often arise from unmet emotional needs and can influence self-perception and relationships. I use this approach to help clients recognize these patterns, understand their origins, and develop healthier coping strategies. If you’re ready to break free from these cycles, I’m here to guide you.

Attachment theory focuses on the ways early relationships shape how we connect with others and view ourselves. I use this framework to help clients explore how their attachment experiences influence patterns like self-doubt, avoidance, or seeking reassurance. By understanding these dynamics, clients can build more secure connections and self-compassion. If you’re seeking a therapist who can help you uncover and heal relational wounds, I’d be honored to support your journey toward growth.
