About

It can be difficult to speak on what makes us most vulnerable and uncomfortable. As a therapist, I care about cultivating a space of warmth and trust so you may be heard, understood, and embrace meaningful growth. I am familiar with supporting areas of need including acute and high anxieties, perfectionism, panic, depression, grief, anger, and low confidence. I value teaching mindfulness concepts and using experiential tasks for skill development. My approach is informed by my 8 years in direct care, advocacy, teaching life skills and guiding self awareness development. I utilize evidence-based approaches most validating for your needs. I draw upon concepts from CBT, DBT, Attachment theory, Strength-Based, and Self-Compassion principles. It is important to me to foster inclusion through a lens of Anti-Racism and LGBTQIA allyship. I value incorporating outdoor tasks and contemplative nature-based mindfulness into care.
