About

My approach to therapy comes from a person centered lens and systems approach. In short, this means I approach every person that I have the honor to work with as the experts on their own lives and the many factors that effect their overall well-being. I approach every client with curiosity and unconditional positive regard while guiding them to see themselves through this lens as well. In session, patients can expect talk therapy with principles of behavior change techniques weaved in to provide some tools to meet their personal goals.

I have experience treating people with a wide range diagnoses. I have worked extensively with clients who have sought support for their anxiety, depression, eating disorders, family issues, relationship issues, grief, fertility journeys, transitions to adulthood, and many others. I also enjoy working with my many clients who are clinicians themselves.

With a warm, thoughtful, honest, and at times humorous approach, I work with my clients to identify tools to align their values with their words and actions. I cultivate space for clients to be compassionate towards themselves and others while they find the spaces to make change.
