Therapy and Supervision Services

Therapy

I specialize in helping people enhance their quality of life. Whether you are going through a life transition, living with illness, experiencing the loss of someone or in the role of a caregiver or healthcare professional, navigating life stressors can be overwhelming, isolating, and even debilitating. If you are reading this you are considering, or have decided, you don't want to face these issues alone; and you don't have to. My approach to therapy is to create a safe and welcoming space to identify, process, grow and heal from the life stressors you are experiencing. Collaboratively we can explore your strengths, goals, worries and hopes. 

My practice is a strengths-based collaborative approach using elements of internal family systems (IFS), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) with a mindfulness foundation. I am also EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained. I use a trauma-informed and humanistic lens with my clients acknowledging everyone has a unique story and deserves a space to be seen and heard.

As a social worker, social justice is at the core of my training. I am an ally to people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or gender expansive, queer and/or questioning, intersex, asexual, two-spirit, and the countless affirmative ways in which people choose to self-identify (LGBTQIA2S+) and Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). LGBTQIA2S+ friendly therapist. There are various ways someone can experience life stressors or changes, especially if those stressors are related to illness or death and dying. I am honored you are considering working with me and hope together we can explore new ways for you to feel steady and grounded.
