***Please note this provider uses a platform called Headway to manage their practice. After booking, you will need to set up a Headway account to confirm your appointment. By providing your phone number and/or email address during booking, you agree to receive communications via e-mail, phone call and/or text message, which may include calls/texts sent using an automated system, from or on behalf of Headway and/or this provider about your appointment, account registration, insurance and payment information, and treatment.*** Empathy and connection are essential to provide the best care possible, and I am careful to include them in each session. I believe that every client is doing their best at each moment in time and that all of us can push ourselves to do better. In session, I tend to use a variety of treatment modalities including talk therapy, narrative therapy, expressive arts, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and more. My goal is to create an environment of support and encouragement. I have a certificate in Immigration studies to improve cultural competency in my practice, and I have spent time working with populations who have experienced co-occurring disorders and have higher rates of trauma and mental health issues. I have also done additional training in DBT and trauma-focused therapy. My clients consistently report increased connection, emotional awareness and acceptance, clarity, and hopefulness for change. I like to work collaboratively with my clients to set goals and identify solutions based on their unique needs.
