My Approach to Therapy

With 15 years of clinical experience, I bring a collaborative and insight-driven approach to therapy. Drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, I tailor each treatment plan to your individual needs. Together, we'll focus on what matters most to you and create lasting change.

I am especially passionate about trauma-informed, healing focused therapy. This means, I believe you already hold the power and wisdom you need to heal and nurture yourself. My role is to help you access, strengthen, and cultivate those inner resources.

My Experience

My professional experience spans community mental health, end-of-life care and grief counseling, rape treatment and crisis counseling, college counseling and psychological services, and physician wellness and burnout prevention.

I work well with a range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety, panic, stress, and worry

• Attachment and emotional regulation

• Burnout and moral injury

• Depression

• Developmental, acute, and vicarious trauma

• Historical and intergenerational trauma

• Grief and loss

• Identity exploration and alignment

• Challenging interpersonal dynamics

• Relationship strife

• Self-esteem and confidence building

• Phase-of-life changes

I draw frequently on these therapeutic modalities:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

• Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma Resilience Model (TRM) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), with a focus on cultural competence and healing-centered trauma approaches.

• Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and Integrative Sex and Couples Therapy

• Narrative Therapy

• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reducton (MBSR)

I am deeply committed to creating a therapeutic space that honors and welcomes individuals of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities. This commitment means I continuously engage in self-reflection, ongoing learning, and intentional action to uphold equity and inclusion within my practice and broader community. I welcome open feedback and dialogue as part of my ongoing journey to grow and serve with greater awareness and respect.
