I will help you feel seen and heard as we explore your authentic self and look at root causes that impact the present. As we explore healthier paths toward symptom relief, growth and healing are tailored to your needs.
I have a client-centered focus. I believe that meeting you where you are in a safe and nonjudgmental space is key to beginning the healing process. I have experience working with diverse cultures and orientations, guiding my practice to be multiculturally affirming. By exploring past attachments and how they impact you in the present, we can discover purposeful connections and meaning in your lives.
I use a combination of CBT, DBT, attachment, and mindfulness. We will explore how you relate to others and the self while working towards being present in the here and now. My areas of experience are addiction, attachment issues and trauma, depression/anxiety, mood disorders, self-esteem/body image issues, sexual dysfunction, racial and discrimination trauma, and grief.
