Therapy Style
My practice has a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and evidence-based practices while infusing feminist, culturally responsive, strength-based, and trauma-informed stances.
We'll work collaboratively to evaluate in-the-moment situations, make problems more manageable, shift unhelpful thinking, and improve the way you feel. I'll provide tailored skills that you can practice, integrate and apply to manage worry, nervousness, body tension, low mood and motivation, negative self-talk, stress, and distress. My style is personable, collaborative, flexible, engaging, and warm.
