My priority as a therapist is to create a warm, non-judgmental environment for clients to process their emotions, relationships, and experiences. My hope is to create a safe space for you to explore and identify your needs for the therapeutic relationship so that we can create the most effective experience for you. I recognize that each client is unique and therefore approach my work using a client-centered, strengths-based model to personalize treatment based on each individual’s needs and goals. My style is often described as conversational, warm, and empathetic. I draw from a combination of approaches including emotionally focused therapy and trauma focused CBT. In my work with couples, I work as a neutral third party, to resolve conflict, improve communication, interrupt negative relational patterns, and address intimacy and sexual issues. I also work with individuals on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and relationships. I enjoy working with women regarding sexual shame and breaking down harmful narratives and trauma related to sex and sexuality.
