My approach centers on honesty and collaboration between therapist and client. I believe every client has the strength and self-knowledge to tackle their challenges; therapy is the place to uncover inner strength and sharpen the self-knowledge we have learned to doubt. I integrate several modalities into my practice, focusing on Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Existential, and Narrative Therapy while incorporating a Multicultural and Feminist Therapy lens.
I have worked with adults experiencing specific disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, eating disorders, and personality disorders, as well as more general issues such as existential dread, adjustment issues, life transition stress, burnout, organizational issues, interpersonal conflict, career changes, and crises of identity. All of these experiences have made me adept at guiding clients through their search for meaning, understanding, and purpose.
