Let's help keep you safe, self-soothing, and connected while we address the symptoms, maintaining factors, perspectives, patterns, and experiences which disrupt the balance in you and around you. You are worth the time to work on your relationship with your inner and outer self, others, the greater world, and seek transformative change through consistent purposeful discovering.

Psychotherapy

Telehealth for Individual Adults 18+

Supportive stabilizing sessions. When things are stressful, more difficult, or different and you know it’s time for help.

Education, solution, and change oriented. Self-understanding while identifying the next restorative actions for uniquely you.

Maintain stability and routine. Practicing a lifestyle that supports your wellbeing can take time while implementing what you find works best for you to cope and thrive. 

Depth healing is possible. Through addressing painful hurts, loss, trauma, complex health circumstance, and diverse difficult symptoms. These often need gentle and persistent attention with effective care. 

You are worth it. Discovering self-love, meeting your needs, pursuing your goals, and better showing up with others.

Restoration, development, and creative change. We will discuss your individual needs and expectations for care with ongoing assessment to ensure your investment is worthwhile for your wellness. 

🌿 Therapy as Treatment

Psychotherapy is a clinical treatment addressing your behavioral health concerns, though highly social-emotional, personal, private, and supportive. I aim to reduce stigma and normalize accessing healthcare for mental health disorders. Also, I find nonpathological perspectives are integral to innate healing, connection, and practicing self-love. I have witnessed the healing of emotional wounds bring a wave of physiological and emotional relief, resilience, empowerment, and strength. Addressing the hard parts in trusted timing is usually necessary to get there. ​

Below are several examples of my experience in treatment and support. If you are hopeful to work on any of these areas we likely can when it is possible, safe, and effective at this level and mode of treatment.

Both initial and ongoing assessment is necessary to ensure I can be the best clinical fit for you, your needs, and your personal goals. Each clinician and client are unique and a good match is important to support your relief and progress.

🌻Strategies for Change

There are many paths to create balanced and whole living. I enjoy ongoing education, training, and research to support provision of transdiagnostic interventions tailored to your experience. Sessions can often feel like a conversation or an activity but they are upheld by evidence-based, mindful, and intentional clinical practice. Many clinical or complementary strategies involve a process of addressing what needs support in parts, over time, toward equillibrium.

We regularly check-in to recalibrate our focus on active stressors, symptoms, and needs for clarity, response, and ongoing healthy develepment. Or, ongoing attention toward existential, past processing, or depth-themes. Untangling, organizing, and understanding more when you are ready. While actively improving coping and increasingly living from a place of self-leadership and self-love.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, weaving together aspects of evidence-based and theory-informed modalities to support each client’s unique needs, identities, lived experiences, strengths, and goals. I draw from the following models and frameworks—some through formal training and others as informed through continuing education applied with respect to scope of practice, emerging competencies, and ongoing clinical development.

My Approach

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I practice from a trauma-informed, relational, and client-centered lens. I approach each session as a space for collaboration, self-discovery, and healing that honors the whole of who you are—your identity, your inner life, your body, and the systems within and around you. Therapy may involve structured tools, insight, embodiment, creativity, trauma and grief work, or rest - depending on what supports your process and personal sence of progress.

Ongoing Growth & Areas of Study

I am actively engaged in continuing education, mentorship, and self-study. My current continuing professional development focus includes Internal Family Systems-Informed therapy, integrative certification, deepening grief work, somatic healing, and ongoing enhancement of trauma recovery. I also work from a harm reduction lens that centers client self-trust, and I hold a deepening interest in plant medicine and psychedelic-informed frameworks within ethically grounded contexts. I have future goals to soon offer additional treatment options such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy and Pain Reprocessing Therapy. Coming soon! However, at this time current interventions and modalities I am more experienced in and able to offer services from are outlined below.

What Sets Apart an LCSW

My training as a clinical social worker emphasizes systems thinking, person-in-environment understanding, and integrative care. I support not only emotional healing but also functional life structure - including system-building, routine development, and support for executive functioning. When needed and possible I collaborate with support systems and other providers and approach every encounter with attention to ethical scope, relational trust, and cultural context.

What to Expect From This List

This overview is elaborated as a component of patient informed care for psychotherapy services. Patient rights outline the client being welcome to receive information and ask about which interventions are applied throughout any step in the course of services and the right to be informed during the process of deciding who to work with.

Below is a nearly comprehensive list of modalities and strategies I draw from in our work together. I am consistently aimed at deepening my knowledge, wisdom, humility, and confidence in practice. This happens in-part during the active process of our work together.

Not every tool is used in every session. Rather, timely aspects of some of these approaches are integrated in a targeted manner for each client depending on your needs, goals, and preferences.

In addition to healthy chances for meaningful relationships, evidence shows accessing your own self-compassionate inner-guidance may be the greatest source of psychological and emotional healing.

The client becoming more expressive and aware in a safe space with a safe person is in itself a direct and meaningful method of processing toward relief. Just because we have options, doesn’t mean we have to rush, overthink, or overcomplicate our natural level of comfort, readiness, or how we communicate in any given session. What feels right for you to focus on when and how matters. The collaborative and communicative process between client and clinician will gently incorporate perspectives or elements from some of these below.

Letters are typically included as part of clinical care and are provided without additional cost. In rare cases where extensive documentation is requested (e.g., multiple drafts, many pages, detailed form completion, or repeated submissions), an administrative fee may apply. Some needs may require collaborative review or completion in session.

Examples of Documentation:

  • Treatment or Discharge Summaries

  • Diagnostic Verification (when clinically appropriate)

  • Collaborative Care Letters (to coordinate with medical or mental health providers)

  • Emotional Support Animal Letters
