therapy for adults
Life has a way of subverting our expectations in ways that can be discouraging, challenging, and scary. Therapy can be a supportive safe haven away from the noise, where you can explore, reflect, process, and grow.
Relationships are essential part of life, and they can be both rewarding and very challenging! Our therapeutic relationship provides a unique opportunity to practice openness and vulnerability within a safe and supportive dynamic. We will work to understand your attachment style and family system, and how they impact the ways you show up in relationships. I provide an empathetic and insightful sounding board to navigate conflict, codependency, intimacy, and other relevant topics.

Do you ever feel like your feelings are getting the best of you? You may experience overwhelming emotions that feel out of control. Or, you may struggle to access and understand your feelings at all. Approaching emotions with curiosity and mindfulness allows us to experience them fully without over-identifying with them or acting on them. Therapy can help you find this balance!
Using concepts and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Polyvagal Theory, I help clients live in the present and learn to identify and regulate strong emotions. Learn more about DBT therapy and group offerings here.
emotional regulation
Therapy can help you gain deeper, more nuanced understanding of your own unique identity in its many facets—including racial and cultural identities, gender identity, sexuality, religious/spiritual identity, and more. I am here to guide you through identity exploration by encouraging curiosity, authenticity, and self-acceptance.
IDENTITY AND SELF esteem
Change can feel exciting, scary, and painful—and sometimes all of these at once! If you are struggling with difficult transitions at work, in relationships, or in other areas of life, therapy can help you process and get ready to move forward.
Together, we will explore your values, desires, past experiences, and present emotions around life transitions. My aim is to empower you and increase resilience, flexibility, and acceptance of change.
