Counseling Style

I believe in client-led, person-centered appointments and appreciate that one size does not fit all when it comes to the therapeutic process. I cater my interventions to the needs of the individual while incorporating the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Parts Work, and Mindfulness and Somatic Interventions. My trauma-focused and psychodynamic lens also explores interpersonal relationships, attachment styles, and family systems.

​

Humanistic Therapy is the undercurrent in my practice as I emphasize personal growth, increased self-worth, and empowerment. Self-compassion is also an integral part of my therapy process. One way to practice self-compassion is to be curious toward the parts of your identity and behavioral patterns and ask yourself: How have those parts served me? All of your parts have served you in one way or another, but with the development of new coping skills and perspective you may find that certain parts no longer serve you or were maladaptive. Once you practice curiosity, you may then practice greater compassion toward the parts of your multidimensional identity with understanding and acceptance that those parts will always be within you but do not need to define or control you.

I prioritize cultivating a judgment-free and emotionally safe space during appointments, and you can expect warmth, compassion and laughter while working together.
