How we’ll work together

My primary goal as your therapist is to create a safe and supportive space where we can explore where you have been, where you are now, and where you would like to go. Together, we will work to help you cultivate deeper self-awareness, find self-compassion for the things you feel shame around, and learn how to live in a way that aligns with your needs and values.

My approach is warm, authentic, supportive, and nonjudgmental. When working with clients, I like to blend humor, psychoeducation, skill-building, clinical insight, and a whole lot of validation.
