How I Work

Mental health isn’t the opposite of mental illness, it’s about our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. In the same way that you’d go to a dentist for oral care, going to a psychologist is as much about taking preventative measures as it is about diagnosis and treatment. Working with a therapist isn’t a magical solution to fixing your life, but about breaking patterns that don’t serve you, unlearning ways of behavior you might have adopted from childhood, or reframing the way you understand yourself or the people around you. 

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in healing. Using a collaborative, non-judgmental, and empathic approach I want to help you feel uniquely seen, understood, and safe. My goal is to serve as a reassuring and compassionate guide to help you discover thoughts you have never thought about, identify patterns of thinking and behavior that no longer serve you, and provide you with a safe space to process difficult feelings.

As your therapist, I will explore your early and most recent life experiences. Together we will work to uncover how these experiences are currently impacting your sense of self, expectations of yourself and others, and most importantly, how these early experiences may be impacting your current relationships. I use techniques that are researched and proven to treat issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, low self-esteem, struggles with motivation, identity, life transitions, and personal growth.

If you are ready to invest in yourself and "do the work," I am here to support you.
