What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, eating disorders, and anxiety. I am an Associate-level therapist with experience working with clients in recovery from eating disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders in outpatient settings as well as in treatment at higher levels of care. I understand the unique pressures working in the arts and entertainment industry, and offer care to those who struggle to balance external image with internal thoughts. I utilize a non-judgemental, casual, creative style to therapy, informed by various modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Radically-Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Polyvagal Therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to determine when finding your narrative can help you identify how you see yourself in your worldview, or when a “bottom up” or skills-based approach may be more supportive. My goal is to empower you with the right tools and information that will help you build skills needed to get the most out of life.  

I specialize in assisting clients with ADHD, Substance use disorders, transitional periods (career, divorce, etc.), trauma, anxiety, stress, and mood disorders. I am passionate towards the therapeutic process of facilitating self-empowerment to promote personal well-being and autonomy.

I’m a licensed therapist that emphasizes self-reflection and personal growth. There is no one-size fits all approach to therapy. Together, we will find what benefits you. I use a psychodynamic approach to look at your past and present and how that may influence how you make decisions, and a relationship-based therapy approach with a strength-based frame to help you develop coping skills and protective factors against stressors and negative relationships. If you are experiencing a situation or circumstance affecting your ability to adjust, or affecting your ability to regain your footing for work/life balance, my practice may help you overcome these obstacles.
