What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is grounded in trauma-informed, person-centered care. I believe deeply in the innate resilience within each individual and use a strength-based framework to help clients connect with that capacity. I value collaboration and work closely with my clients to identify interventions that best align with their unique needs and goals. I strive to create a space where my clients can feel safe to show up authentically, receive proper support, and feel truly heard. I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan. I specialize in supporting those who have experienced trauma, including, but not limited to, domestic violence and sexual assault. I also enjoy working with individuals navigating life transitions and managing interpersonal conflicts.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My therapeutic style is supportive and collaborative, with a strong foundation in trauma-informed care. I tailor my practice to each individual, so together, we will collaborate to develop a plan that is suited to your needs. I often draw from CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, as well as an eclectic mix of somatic techniques to promote healing and growth. I recognize that deciding to begin therapy can feel both exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. We will work together to identify where you are today and determine the best path forward toward where you would like to be.
