About Truce

A space to be unapologetically human.

Truce Therapy & Wellness is rooted in the belief that the choice to begin therapy is much like calling a truce with oneself. It is a courageous step toward peace, healing, and partnership with the parts of ourselves we often battle with. It is the recognition that it’s possible to lessen suffering and elevate joy, both within ourselves and our relationships.

By understanding your unique strengths and adaptive skills, I am committed to helping you create helpful patterns and a home base of self-trust to draw upon in life’s difficult moments. My approach is integrative, blending evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-based Therapy, IFS-informed Therapy, and Solution-focused Therapy. I also appreciate the levity that humor can bring!

If you’ve been fighting battles in your mind, carrying a lot inside, or silencing your voice to keep the peace, I’m here to help. I specialize in helping teens, college students, and parents transform patterns to heal relationships, enhance self-esteem, and navigate life transitions.

Truce's Core Values

Safety + Partnership

It is my mission to create a sort of “campfire” where you feel safe and welcome to freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This ultimately sets the foundation for trust within our relationship. Together, we will create an alliance, absent of hierarchy—you, as the expert of your life, and me, as a supportive guide, offering helpful insights, observations, and empirically supported strategies.

holistic wellness

We humans are wildly complex and deserve to be fully heard and understood within a multitude of contexts. Truce adopts a comprehensive approach to wellness, considering the physical, social, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person’s life. This means exploring your past, present, and future in these areas to create more harmony and self-compassion … on your own terms, at your own pace.

cultural awareness + allyship

Our lives are undoubtedly shaped by cultural, societal, and familial influences. This includes established and ongoing systems of oppression. In tandem with my own inner work, I aim to learn, empower, raise my voice in advocacy of, and hold space for members of communities and cultures who have been “othered” and harmed by prejudicial treatment.
