My Approach
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space for my clients to explore emotions, life experiences, and ways to improve quality of life. Whether this is your first therapy experience, or you’ve done this before, I will endeavor to meet you exactly where you are. My approach is rooted in mindfulness, ACT, and CBT. Together we tailor these interventions to meet your specific needs. I believe in the benefits of acknowledging vulnerabilities, difficult behaviors, and unpleasant feelings, while also encouraging my clients to remain grounded in their unique set of strengths and values. I specialize in treating adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, etc. I have also completed coursework in Components of Care and Advanced Perinatal Mood Disorders Psychotherapy training through Postpartum Support International.

Experience
I have experience in evidence-based interventions like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing (MI), solutions-focused therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills (DBT). Previously I worked in primary care offices providing short-term counseling to patients experiencing anything from depression and anxiety, to life stress, to processing a new medical diagnosis. I also have experience in crisis intervention from my time working in inpatient psychiatry and the Emergency Department. -
