Theory

At the center of all therapeutic work, there is the relationship between client and therapist. In our early sessions we will work collaboratively to make the therapeutic space a supportive place for you. I utilize a person-centered framework, meaning that I believe that each individual is the expert of their own experience and I support clients as they take leadership in their own journey. 

I draw from an intersectional feminist perspective and a social justice lens in my practice. Both as a counselor and as an individual, I strive to better understand the systems in which we exist and to recognize how they impact individuals, communities, and mental health. 

​

I am an eclectic therapist, meaning that I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities to best support you in your process of change. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which is a modality designed to treat PTSD and/or symptoms of trauma. I have a  background in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) which is a skill based therapy to learn to manage emotions and effectively navigate relationships. I find that IFS (internal Family Systems) can be supportive for clients who are curious to explore their internal processes. I also have training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a holistic practice that engages the body to reprocess trauma. 

​

Ultimately, there is no 'one size fits all' approach to therapy. It really depends on what works best for you and what your goals in therapy are.
