My Ideal Client

My therapeutic approach integrates process based, behavioral, and mindfulness based techniques to promote a stronger sense of self while building skills to improve quality of life. I embrace acceptance and change strategies to build self-compassion while facilitating meaningful change. I work well with motivated young adults, adults, and LGBTQ individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life stressors, interpersonal conflict, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem issues, and gender dysphoria.

My Approach to Helping

I believe suffering is an aspect of human nature and everyone has the innate ability to tolerate and grow through difficult times, to find meaning and purpose in life. Sometimes we have to enter the paradox of pain to get relief from the pain itself. I have 8 years of experience in community and group clinics and have been intensively trained in evidenced based treatment modalities. My goal is to help plant seeds of self-awareness to propel perspective, introspection, agency and self-fulfillment. Every individual is unique and I tend to tailor client-centered relational and behavioral skill building techniques. I can be somewhat directive in session and work well with folks who are motivated and/or have an agenda.
