Helping my clients feel accepted and transform unhelpful habits into healthier living are my top priorities.

My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and research-based. I am a trauma-informed therapist, which means that it will be helpful to understand any adverse and traumatic in your life history and life context in order to make sense of current symptoms. This also means that I highly value you having a sense of control and choice about your therapy and our therapeutic relationship.

My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and research-based. I integrate somatic (body-based) modalities (i.e., Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, trauma-informed yoga), mindfulness-based approaches (i.e., Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion), and Brene Brown’s Shame Resilience Theory.

After an initial assessment and goal setting period (usually first 4-6 sessions), we work collaboratively to identify and modify unhelpful habit patterns that get in the way of your goals. My clients are motivated to make changes and often practice between-session homework, including self-awareness logs, somatic and mindfulness practices, and formal meditation, in order to practice new ways of being.

My client's typically want to get relief from:

• Anxiety and over-analyzing

• Feelings of insecurity or anger towards themselves

• Relationship difficulties

• Women’s life transitions. I specialize in women’s mind-body wellness, particularly related to peri- and post-partum mental health, overcoming sexual trauma, and self-respect.

• Life stress related to being in undergrad/graduate school, a helping/health professional, or high-achieving working professional
