I am a collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed therapist who empowers my clients to create safety in their mind, body, and soul by building self-compassion and self-trust. I believe in an individual’s inherent knowledge and resiliency, pulling from Narrative Therapy practices that teach us to rewrite the narratives that no longer serve us. I invite clients to identify the effects of oppression and explore their responses and resources in the face of these challenges. I also encourage examining societal pressures and finding ways that authenticity and nonconformity can transform pressure into intention. I adapt my style of therapy for each individual, using supplemental therapies such as Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques. If you are interested in working together, I welcome you to schedule a free consultation call!
