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.

My approach is to draw out the inner resources that I believe we all have access to within us, and leverage these resources towards our goals. I believe we are all capable of finding inner knowing, even in the most turbulent of times.
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.
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.
We will explore the functions of beliefs and behaviors that are no longer serving you. We will release trauma, anxiety and feelings stored in your body so that you can have a fulfilling life.

I have spent the past 15 years working in intensive treatment settings (eating disorders, substance use disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression and related-disorders). I incorporate DBT, IFS-informed, polyvagal theory and psychodynamic approaches.
