my approach
Whether you’re looking to gain insight, know yourself more deeply, or identify patterns of behaviors that are harmful- you’ve landed at the right place. Through a shared commitment to the therapeutic process, we can work on strengthening relationships, setting authentic goals and creating actionable steps to achieve them. My goal as a therapist is to ensure that my clients’ feel they have concrete tools and strategies for coping outside of therapy when challenging times arise. I strive to create a space for my clients that is free of judgment, and where they feel heard, seen, and encouraged to get to know themselves more deeply.
​
​
​
My treatment style is a blend of psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT and emotion-focused therapy. Most importantly, treatment will always be a collaborative effort, tailored to the individual clients needs, and changed over the course of treatment as needed. I work mostly with adults 18+, and have worked extensively with entertainment professionals.
