Through compassionate curiosity, I ask intentional questions that allow my clients to get to know themselves, their needs, and their goals for therapy. Therapy can often appear as though two people are simply just talking but there is so much more that is happening beneath the surface. As a therapist, my initial aim is to create a safe and non-judgmental place so that my clients are able to access and share their thoughts, emotions, and experiences with me. As clients process their past and pres...

I've honed my expertise in helping clients work through anxiety, depression, grief, loss, enculturation, and stress management. I believe in the human potential for healing, growth, and change. Throughout my sessions, I like to help clients identify their successes, interests, and talents. I support clients in practicing new behaviors and strategies in between sessions as a way to reinforce what...

I help clients learn coping skills to help individuals reach their full potential, and be able to cope with painful moments. Additionally, I love to help individuals stay in the moment and get away from rumination, over-planning, and worrying. You, as a client, will help guide our sessions and goals. We will track if we are successful in our goals and treatment. We will always be able to talk about your feelings about the treatment and our therapeutic alliance. I'm a therapist with Octave ...

College can be an exciting time, filled with endless opportunities for new friends, relationships, interests, identities, coursework, etc. While these new opportunities may bring about joy, they can also be quite overwhelming and difficult to manage without some support and guidance. This is where I come in. In a non-judgmental manner, I invite you to share what’s on your mind and what it is that is bothering you or getting in the way of your success. Is it perfectionism? Indecisiveness? May...

At the end of the day, I want you to see that you can figure out your issues so my focus will be to elicit your strengths and demonstrate that you can eventually do this on your own. Investing your time in therapy is a huge step and a challenging one, especially not knowing what to expect from therapy. My approach to therapy is a person-centered one, where you are the pilot in this journey. I am not the expert here as you are the only expert in your life.

Whether borderline, narcissistic or simply toxic, wounded and self-centered parents create wounded children. And these children grow up without the basics of warmth and kindness, acceptance and encouragement. In order to survive, we adapt to the needs of our demanding parents. That might mean we learn to parent our parent. Or we develop antennae and quickly respond to their changing moods and needs, simultaneously ignoring our own. We hope if we do and say the right thing long enough, then o...
