Approach
Therapy That Fits You
I take a person-centered approach which emphasizes each client’s unique values, strengths, and cultural background and flexibly design evidenced-based interventions to fit each client and their presenting concerns. There’s no one size fits all approach, and I believe in celebrating the wonderful complexity and multitudes my clients contain and collaborating with my clients in their care. During my training, I specialized in working with difficult to treat psychopathology and received extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and other third-wave cognitive-behavioral approaches. I am passionate about working with adolescents (ages 14+), adults, and couples, and my style is characterized by warmth, empathy, and genuineness.

"The science of therapy is what first drew me to this profession, the idea that through vulnerable conversations and brave action that people could find recovery and healing. Through my experiences walking alongside my clients, I also have come to believe that the art of psychotherapy is continuing to lean in, be willing to be wrong, and to seek understanding and connection. A client once shared this quote with me that I think embodies this well: “If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something.”"
What to Expect:
Finding the right fit matters most.
-
Research shows that the relationship between therapist and client is one of the biggest factors in creating change.
-
That’s why I start with a complimentary consultation call—so we can both get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.
If we decide it is a good fit:
-
We’ll move forward with an intake process, where I take time to really get to know you.
-
Together, we’ll explore your concerns, goals, personal history, background, values, and strengths.
-
I want to understand who you are beyond your current challenges, so we can use your strengths and resources to guide the work.
What therapy looks like:
-
Sessions are typically 45–60 minutes, once a week to start.
-
Meeting weekly helps us build a strong relationship and make steady progress.
-
As you start feeling better, we might meet every other week, monthly, or as needed—whatever best supports your growth.
-
I’ll also invite you to practice insights and strategies between sessions to keep progress going.
How long therapy lasts:
-
The length of therapy depends on your goals and how things unfold.
-
Some people wrap up after meeting their goals, while others choose to continue with occasional check-ins or maintenance sessions.
-
We’ll always make these decisions together, based on what feels most helpful for you.
