My Therapeutic Approach

Personalized, Collaborative, Trauma-Informed Care

Every therapist has their own way of supporting clients. My therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, and deeply supportive, always grounded in a trauma-informed perspective. 

I believe therapy is a collaborative process. While I bring training in evidence-based techniques, you bring lived experience and the knowledge of your own life. Together, we combine our expertise to better understand what you’re going through and identify strategies that feel meaningful and effective. Therapy with me is not about prescribing answers—it’s about partnering with you to explore and practice tools that truly fit your needs.

My approach is highly personalized. I adapt the work we do together to reflect your unique challenges, strengths, and goals, ensuring that therapy feels relevant and supportive at every step. Explore the full range of services I offer to see how I can support you.

Evidence-Based Therapies I Use

My practice is informed by evidence-based therapies that research has shown to work, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to improve mood and well-being.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Building concrete coping skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationships.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how past experiences shape present struggles.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Identifying concrete solutions and small steps toward progress.

Motivational Interviewing

Fostering internal motivation for meaningful change.

Balancing Acceptance and Growth

At its heart, I believe therapy is about balancing acceptance with growth. Together, we’ll honor who you are while also exploring the changes you want to make. My goal is to help you tap into your innate strengths so you can build resilience, find healing, and move toward a life that feels peaceful, fulfilling, and full of joy.
