Treatment
Approach
I treat each client as an individual who has the capacity for autonomy and agency in their therapy, which means that we collaborate on goals throughout the course of treatment. I center my approach with relational, psychodynamic, and attachment oriented theoretical foundations. With each person, I strive to provide a safe space while also modeling for them the importance of boundaries and gentle challenging.
I ask my clients to explore their identities, look at narratives embraced or rejected, and delve into how earlier life experiences promoted or fractured a sense of safety. Lastly, I encourage clients to continue growing healthy relationships and foster connections, both of which can be protective against a variety of mental health conditions.
Areas of Expertise
At Cerulean Therapy & Wellness, I provide individual therapy for adults with a wide variety of needs. Below are some of the areas I specialize in.
Depression & Anxiety
Life is a myriad of challenges. It is normal to experience low mood and anxiety as you navigate through them, but it does not mean they have to keep you from living a fulfilling life.
Let me help you better understand your symptoms and learn to cope, regardless of what life throws at you.
Perinatal Concerns
The perinatal period can be one of the most rewarding but stressful time periods for new parents. Postpartum anxiety, depression, and OCD are mental health concerns that can be debilitating and limit your ability to enjoy being a new parent.
Let me help you find confidence as a parent and enjoy precious moments with your little one.
Minority Identities
Individuals with marginalized identities face unique challenges in our modern world. Whether it is feeling acculturation stress in a multigenerational family system or experiencing quiet discrimination in the workplace due to one’s gender identity, individuals with minority identities take on a heavy burden. However, you do not need to carry it alone. Therapy could be the space of healing for you.
