In my approach to therapy, I center safety, curiosity, and humor while working from an existential-humanistic perspective. This means we will be embarking on a collaborative journey to build upon your strengths and values while discovering the actionable skills and interventions that will point you toward your goals. I offer a space that is trauma-informed, honoring intersectionality and lived experiences.
I incorporate modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, narrative, and interpersonal therapy. In session, we can analyze thought patterns, develop behavioral goals, process the here-and-now, use humor to uphold your experience, build emotional resilience, or any other meaningful plans for growth we may discover.
