With 3 years of grad school experience, three years of clinical experience, and 5 years total in the mental health field, I feel well equipped to assist you with the challenges you may be facing. I prioritize trust and rapport in the therapeutic relationship and always strive to provide a safe space where you will be accepted and empowered, knowing that this means something different for each client. As a therapist, I utilize aspects of self-awareness, radical acceptance, and mindfulness in my work while employing a variety of evidence-based techniques to address each client’s needs. While operating mostly from an acceptance and commitment therapy lens, I use an eclectic approach, pulling from person-centered, DBT, and somatic practices when needed. I am committed to continuous learning and approach the therapeutic process with curiosity and openness.

Approach to Therapy

Whether you are overwhelmed by major life changes, struggling with personal challenges you can’t seem to figure out on your own, or just wanting to continue your journey of self-growth, I would love to work with you. My life experience has instilled in me empathy, compassion, and commitment to support others on their paths towards wellness and peace. My education and clinical training have provided me with the knowledge, tools, and experience to help you through the challenges you are facing. Viewing each person through multicultural and trauma-informed lenses allows me to work with people from all different walks of life. Our work together will be a collaborative journey as we find ways to tailor our sessions to work best for you. Before attending graduate school, I worked in an inpatient residential treatment center for adolescent girls, giving me the hands-on experience to sit with people through some of life’s most difficult challenges. I have experience working with clients dealing with emotional dysregulation, family of origin issues, trauma, major life changes, grief, and relationship struggles, to name a few. As a queer ex-Mormon, I understand the importance of identity in the therapeutic space and welcome clients of all demographics and identities to work with me. I offer virtual sessions Monday-Thursday and provide a free 15-minute consultation call for prospective clients. Through working with me, I hope we can offer you relief from life’s challenges and nurture your natural strengths and resilience.
