My Approach
The stories of our lives can have a tremendous impact on who we are as people, and how we feel. As a narrative-based therapist, it is my privilege to be invited to witness your story and be part of the change that you are seeking. With specialized training in marriage and family therapy comes a unique understanding of how the relational experiences of our individual histories play out in our day to day interactions.
With specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) comes an understanding of how the foundations laid early in our lives can impact us as individuals, and play out in our adult relationships. How you grow up, your communities, and society as a whole can impact how each person interacts with and understands the world around them and affect your unique attachment style. I also carefully take into account each individual’s values with a background in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and tailor treatment towards what is most important to you.
I operate from a neurodivergent affirming and trauma-informed style, and seek to offer a compassionate and understanding atmosphere while inviting you to challenge yourself towards growth. Whether working in the dynamic atmosphere of a couple or meeting an individual in their own uncertainty, I am ready to meet you where you are, find out where you are stuck, and journey together to your goals.

Experience
Throughout my masters level internship and while holding my license I have continually challenged myself to grow and work with cases that were outside of my comfort zone and gain new experience and understanding while receiving expert guidance and supervision from my clinical support team. This has led me to feel comfortable working with a wide range of clients.
Areas of interest I work with commonly include neurodivergence perinatal support and mood disorders (for mom and dad), relationship conflict and distress, intimacy struggles and infidelity recovery.
I also carry clinical certification from Game to Grow in therapeutic tabletop roleplay gaming as a Therapeutic Game Master.
