Therapist Overview
I believe clients are the experts in their lives and that empathic connection is central to healing. My goal is to work together to form a trusting relationship within which to process difficulty, understand challenges, and create meaning to move forward. My therapeutic approach is informed by psychodynamic and developmental theory, particularly relational and attachment-focused perspectives. In addition to DBT and mindfulness strategies, I utilize compassion, active listening and humor to honor your unique strengths, needs and challenges. I strive to be attentive to social identities, family system dynamics, and larger cultural contexts that impact an individual’s sense of self, personal agency, and worldview. I receive ongoing training and mentoring from leaders in the fields of complex trauma, DBT, and LGBTQ affirmative practices. I have experience providing psychotherapy and skills coaching with adolescents, young adults, and families. Additionally, I work with families on attachment and attunement within the caretaker-child relationship.
