We can often be our own worst critics, feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of “what if” scenarios that pop into our heads. Whether it shows up in our romantic relationships, academics, family dynamics, or in the workplace, anxiety can feel like an overprotective force in our heads that means well, but often latches onto perfectionism, urgency and control. For the past 8 years, it has been my privilege to work directly with clients from a variety of backgrounds to treat anxiety, depression, trauma and general life stress. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skills, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and psychodynamic therapy, with an emphasis on self-compassion. I believe in equity across all identities and understanding how larger societal systems play a role in how we see ourselves in relation to the world. Our sessions will feel conversational, allowing you to build confidence in vulnerability with yourself & others. I bring humor & compassion to the therapeutic alliance, valuing and empowering your perspective, while also gently challenging any patterns you may be stuck in.
