I operate from psychology's #1 treatment modality: cognitive-behavioral therapy. We identify ways of thinking and behaving that are causing you to remain stuck in a dysfunctional pattern before we create new patterns that can help you move forward.
develop a personalized plan to help get you unstuck and on track to living the life you want. Therapy with me is based in science, but not impersonal or formulaic. We usually work to improve both current challenges and long-standing issues.

I combine several approaches that help you understand patterns and themes that might be holding you back, and learn new skills to feel better. I'm not a "sit and nod" therapist; I share my perceptions and ideas with you, and sessions are active.
Resiliency and safety will come up often in our work. I will often maintain the perspective of "understanding" our setbacks without "excuse". Keeping resilience in mind allows for us to honor our survival while hoping for a more fulfilling life.

When we work together, I will consistently support you in seeing yourself with all of your parts. This means connecting your identities and values, and bridging your past to your present. I hope to honor your journey and resilience with each step.

Therapy can and will look different for every individual. Therapy is hard work, and also fun and rewarding. My approach to therapy is evidence-based and tailored to your needs and goals, which may change and pivot over the course of therapy.
