You need an ally. Someone that is invested in your life and wants to be a partner that can support you along your journey. As a therapist, I strive to be that ally. I believe that it is my job to meet you exactly where you are and help you move toward where you would like to be. Empowerment is imperative to my therapeutic approach, as I believe it serves as a foundation to processing complex topics such as emotional regulation, cognitive distortions, or relationship conflicts. I work from a person-centered, feminist/multicultural perspective and draws from cognitive behavioral techniques. I believe in creating a strong therapeutic rapport, fostering unconditional positive regard and an empathetic environment. I also utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy, as well as EMDR. Seeking help can be so scary. And it is a testament to your capability already that you have found your way here. So, if you are looking for a safe place to explore who you are or who you want to be, you've found it.
