my approach

I use a strengths-based perspective! My therapeutic approach incorporates these evidence-based treatments, tailored to your specific needs:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): a skills-based treatment that balances acceptance and change to build capacity for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): an approach that emphasizes the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors - and teaches strategies for coping adaptively and transforming unhelpful patterns

• Prolonged Exposure (PE) Trauma Treatment: helps process traumatic experiences by gradually confronting trauma-related memories and experiences in a safe, supported environment to reduce PTSD symptoms and increase freedom

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): tools to increase psychological flexibility, emotion acceptance, and values-aligned behavior

• Executive Functioning Support: creative strategies that work with your brain’s unique wiring to enhance present-moment functioning, task completion, and cognitive flexibility

​

my commitment

I strive to create a therapeutic environment where all aspects of your identity are respected, valued, and celebrated. In my commitment to ongoing cultural learning and to dismantling oppressive systems, I am:

• Continuously engaged in anti-racist education and self-reflection

• Enthusiastically affirming of all gender and sexual identities and journeys of exploration

• Committed to incorporating neuro-affirmative practices and adapting interventions for individuals' distinctive neurocognitive profiles

• Actively working to increase access to high-quality therapeutic care amongst underserved populations

​

extracurricular

Outside of the therapy space, I can be found immersed in various nonfiction books, walking in the sunshine, nurturing meaningful connections with my community, tending to my collection of houseplants, and/or savoring the joy and anthropological value of reality TV.
