I specialize in individual therapy for adults.  I have 3+ years of experience working with university students and continue to be passionate about helping young adults overcome their unique challenges to grow and flourish in new environments.

My Approach

Welcome. I believe that having a safe, supportive space to share and reflect on our experiences is often one of the most important factors in healing. Over time, this space can help you reconnect with your own wisdom and make decisions that support your well-being on your own terms. I strive to create a calm, open-minded environment grounded in curiosity, empathy, and honesty. Using an integrative approach, I draw from a range of therapeutic ideas and techniques to support your individual goals.

Common aspects of my integrative approach:
Client-Centered Approach
This is the foundation of my work. It emphasizes a supportive therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy, transparency, collaboration, and a nonjudgmental stance. I believe healing happens best when you feel understood, respected, and empowered.

Relational Approach
Our relationships—with partners, family, friends, and others—often shape how we feel about ourselves and the world. In a relational approach, we pay attention to what happens between us in therapy and use those real-time experiences to better understand patterns and strengthen your relationships outside of sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps us explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. By identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, CBT can reduce emotional distress and support meaningful, practical behavior change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts or feelings, ACT emphasizes mindfulness, acceptance, and learning to relate to internal experiences in new ways—while committing to actions that align with your values and the life you want to live.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts-Based Therapy
IFS views the mind as made up of different “parts,” each with its own role, intentions, and history. Some parts may feel protective, critical, anxious, or wounded. This approach helps you develop curiosity and compassion toward these parts, reduce internal conflict, and access your core sense of clarity, calm, and self-leadership.

Positive Psychology
Positive Psychology focuses on what helps life feel meaningful and fulfilling. Alongside addressing challenges, this approach supports growth in areas such as strengths, resilience, connection, purpose, and positive emotion.
