Holistic

I take an integrative approach to therapy by honoring the relationship between body, mind, and spirit.

I draw upon Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness-based practices, Somatics, and Expressive Arts to invite healing at all levels.

By acknowledging the interconnectedness between feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations, my clients are able to better understand themselves as a whole person.

Relational

The relationship between therapist and client is known to be one of the most crucial aspects of psychodynamic therapy. It is my utmost priority to create a safe, non-judgmental environment so that trust can be built and clients can express their true selves without fear.

It is often through secure connections with others that the most profound healing can occur. It brings me great joy to help my clients foster fulfilling relationships with themselves and other important people in their lives.

Individualized

There is no one-size-fits-all approach in therapy. By taking the time to understand my client’s temperament, personal & cultural background, as well as their desired goals for therapy, I am able to tailor therapy sessions to best meet their individual needs.

Whether that means bringing humor and playfulness into sessions, using a more structured/directive approach, or sensitively holding space for heavy emotions, the support I provide is dynamic and collaborative.

Teens

Therapy for teens is incredibly useful for long-term success and growth, which can serve them throughout their life. While some schools have begun integrating SEL into curriculum, there are so many social-emotional skills that young people are lacking, making it harder for teens to learn how to communicate effectively, regulate their emotions, and build resilience.

I provide psycho-education and skill building to the teens I work with so they have a deeper understanding of their experiences and are able to identify ways to advocate for their needs. Increasing awareness and understanding of self empowers teens to make healthy choices, face challenging situations, and feel hopeful about their futures.

Adults

I offer psychotherapy services for adults seeking greater fulfillment and contentment in their lives. In our therapeutic journey we will work together to identify unmet needs and desires, uncovering the barriers that may be hindering personal growth.

Through a holistic and client-centered approach, I aim to empower individuals to live more authentically and with intention. I especially enjoy helping clients build more intimacy in relationships, transform habitual thinking patterns, and create healthy boundaries.

Parent Consultation

It can be of great benefit to keep parents in the loop regarding their teen’s treatment. The existence of a supportive parent-child relationship is important for teens because of the fundamental role it plays in their emotional, social, and psychological environment.

While respecting my client’s confidentiality, I work to integrate therapeutic support within the home by providing parent consultation, joint sessions, and by connecting parents to additional resources to fit their specific needs.
