  • Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT)

My work is founded on connection. I am passionate about being present with people and helping them feel deeply seen and understood. I love incorporating play and creativity into therapy with both children and adults. Client needs, interests, and values guide my practice.

I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which is a framework for helping clients overcome struggles with intense emotions and build a life worth living. Together, we will work to identify behaviors you want to change in your life, build awareness and understanding of the patterns in your feelings and behaviors, and find new ways of being and relating that work for you.

I will support you as you discover the nuance in situations and tap into your wisdom to make decisions, rather than being ruled by your emotions. You can hold multiple truths at once, learning to accept and validate yourself as you are, while also making new choices that allow you to build the live you want to live.

Other modalities I utilize when appropriate include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which supports clients with accepting thoughts and feelings and taking values-based action, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), which is a trauma-processing framework geared toward youth and their families.

My past work experiences include doing individual and substance use group therapy with queer and trans clients, providing case management services to people experiencing serious mental health conditions, and working with youth and their families as a school-based mental health counselor. 

I welcome client feedback and highly value continually learning and growing as a therapist. I will meet you with genuineness and open-mindedness, creating a space for you to show up as your authentic self. I look forward to the privilege of walking alongside you as you journey toward your goals!
