get clear on what changes you want to see, and what's getting in your way. Then we will work together to come up with a plan to get you were you want to be, which may include new ways of thinking, practicing new skills, or processing your past.

I'm a client-centered therapist, which means I follow your lead about what our goals for therapy should be. To help you get there, I share teachings from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Accomplish the goals you set out to reach in therapy. I am flexible with addressing the things that matter to you the most and will create a treatment plan collaboratively with you to achieve that. We will target improving your quality of life.

I cultivate a compassionate understanding of your feelings, thoughts, and experiences, in order to create a safe space for you to explore and express yourself without judgment. My approach is to collaborate with clients as equals in the process.
Explore the way that your symptoms are currently impacting your life so that we can develop new/more effective ways to cope. Additionally, we will work to identify and address the underlying causes.

I believe therapy is a cooperative process. I will give you information along the way to assist you in making informed choices in treatment. My primary modality is the use of EMDR to address the impact of past events on our current lives.
We will work on identifying the threads, both painful and joyful, that run through the stories of your life. Once we get a good sense of those contours, we'll start gently tugging apart the threads until the knot doesn't hurt anymore.

I often use more skills-based therapies as we begin work together to decrease the frequency and intensity of your symptoms. After you feel more stable, we use more insight-based, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed therapies to create lasting change.
Through our work together, I will help you to uncover positive coping skills to manage life's challenges including boundary setting, healthy communication strategies, management of emotional distress and reducing unhelpful thinking patterns.

I am experienced in helping clients to identify, understand and cope with thoughts and feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy. I also employ techniques to assist clients in reducing avoidant responses to stressors and to practice self-compassion.
