Personal Statement

Is it easier for you to be kind to other people than to yourself? When you can truly be your own friend, you will notice many rewarding changes in your life. Many clients in my practice struggle with anxiety and how to manage their HSP traits (Highly Sensitive Person). I often help people with self advocacy and setting healthier boundaries for themselves.

I conduct LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy and provide a safe space for POC and people from diverse backgrounds.

I work from a psychodynamic perspective, and use IFS (Internal Family Systems) strategies to help people explore parts of themselves that they have struggled to accept or express. I also use cognitive-behavioral strategies, helping my clients understand the origins of their difficulties while giving them strategies to cope and make shifts in the here and now. I also weave mindfulness strategies into therapy sessions, and focus on helping them to develop the skill of self compassion.
