Value-driven work

I have an integrative and holistic approach to therapy. I find myself drawn to integrative practices depending on the kind of experiences you come to therapy with. I ground a lot of my sessions in mindfulness, balancing acceptance and change, empowerment, and unconditional positive regard.

I draw from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as Solution-Focused Therapy. When needed, I can bring in compassionate challenging to help you work towards your goals.

Mainly, I see each individual as a unique human being and tailor my approach based on your presentation and what they feel they need and want out of therapy.

I especially enjoy working with the life transitions that show up in the later teen and early adult years. Here, we may notice anxiety, depression, body image, or trauma/attachment pieces that need attending to. I love to connect with clients in a relatable way so that they know that they are truly seen and supported through these experiences.

I enjoy working with those struggling with body image to increase self-worth and self-acceptance, treat eating disorder symptoms, and work through attachment pieces that may be connected to body image concerns. I work to empower my clients in knowing that they can heal and find acceptance within themselves.

I use trauma-informed approaches in all of my work. I often utilize tauma-informed CBT and CPT to help you process your experiences and bring in change that you are looking for. Trauma work often involves attachment work, and if it would be helpful to have your partner or family member in sessions, we can also add that in.

I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and enjoy teaching these to clients who are looking for a skills-focus in therapy. Learn more about how we can utilize DBT in your treatment here.

I also enjoy teaching mindfulness techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy skills, as well as other practices that help you to be fully present in your experience. I find that these practices allow us to truly work through what we are going through so that we can focus on our goals around growth.

I work with individuals 12 and up as well as couples and families. I’m passionate about supporting those healing trauma, working through grief or loss, or navigating anxiety and depression.
