I view individual therapy as a space for support, self-examination, and growth.  My fundamental goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental environment wherein my clients feel safe to be authentic and to open up about their struggles. Initial sessions will entail assessing your symptoms and determining what you want to get out of therapy.

​

Treatment varies depending on the client, but you can expect your therapy to involve procedures such as processing painful life events, reflecting on who you are and what matters to you in life, examining and changing your thoughts, establishing healthy behavior patterns, acquiring new skills for managing emotions, and receiving honest feedback about your impact on relationships.

 

I have extensive experience in various evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness- and compassion-based therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I also have rich experience in working with clients who are ethnic, racial, and sexual minorities.

 

I specialize in working with adults in their 20's-50's treating conditions such as depression, anxiety (i.e., performance anxiety, social anxiety, panic, etc.), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and stress related to work, parenting, or stage of life.
