Together we will step gently into the emotional stuck place and peel away one layer at a time.

My approach is humanistic. I recognize that coming to see a therapist makes one very vulnerable and that vulnerability must be honored with each interaction.
Together we will address the things you feel are keeping you stuck. I work with a lot of young adults going through a life change such as starting college or leaving home for the first time. I help people navigate the things causing them stress.

I use evidence based interventions in my work but I also believe "the work" in therapy can be as simple as just showing up and talking, processing and being open. I provide a safe and comfortable place to come as you are.
Together, we will build a trusted working relationship where all topics are safe. We will agree on goals for therapy together and use a combination of skill building and supportive processing to achieve those.

I use humor when appropriate to make the session comfortable. I respect each client's journey through their own challenges and meet them where they are at, identifying their strengths and patterns that will help them accomplish their goals.
I place a great deal of importance on the therapeutic alliance, which is just a fancy name for the relationship between the two of us. Tons and tons of research show great alliances make for great therapeutic results.

Right off the bat, my number one priority will be making you comfortable. Therapy works best when you feel at ease, and your brain gets that you're in a safe place to explore what's been doing on and what you would like to create in your life.
We will develop new insights and self awareness. This might include clarifying values, understanding relationship dynamics, or recognizing the impact past experiences have on current functioning. New insights provide direction for needed change.

My approach to therapy is client centered and begins with a conversation to get to know you, your history, identities, struggles and strengths. Therapy begins as you are able to trust me and the process and honestly share your thoughts and feelings.
