My Approach to Therapy

My therapy practice is rooted in building a trusting and affirming relationship with my clients. I work to foster a warm and open environment in which they feel valued, accepted, and understood. I use a culturally informed and collaborative approach to help my clients deepen their understanding of themselves, their values, and their strengths.

I identify as an integrative therapist, meaning that I draw on ideas, tools, and interventions from many therapeutic approaches to meet your specific needs. Some of the modalities that inform the work I do include:

• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

• Psychodynamic therapy

• Emotionally-focused therapy for couples (EFT)

• Positive psychology

Many of my clients begin working with me at a point of transition or change in their lives. They may be experiencing feelings of uncertainty, endless worry, or a lack of control. They may be stuck in patterns that are causing them to feel helpless, regretful, or critical of themself. I know that everyone’s life story is unique to them, and I will actively seek to understand your personal lived experience. Through our work together, we will help you to feel more grounded in yourself and your environment, reconnect you to your values, and identify actions that will bring you closer to the life you want to live.
