I approach therapy through a non-pathologizing, trauma-informed, and harm reduction lens and understand that the client is the expert of their own experience. I view the clinical relationship as a tool for healing.
Work to identify strategies and techniques that can begin to offer some relief. We will also begin to alter problematic/less functional narratives that negatively impact your life. Self-compassion is a skill that I work on with almost every client.

It is my responsibility to pay attention to the big picture- noting common themes that come up. Often concerns that we have present differently across different domains (work, home, etc.) but the emotional underpinnings and impact can be similar.
We will understand what your goals are and what may be holding you back from achieving them. We will also develop a plan to learn new skills and stack your tool box which can help get you unstuck and start making the progress you want to see.

I strive to provide a safe, supportive, honest, and empathic space for my clients. We will create an individualized plan based on your needs and goals. I am trained in several approaches that can create new insights about your thoughts and behaviors.
Revealing what motivates our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can unlock renewed self-awareness, leading to meaningful breakthroughs. This newly acquired knowledge can transform and enrich our perception of ourselves and of the world surrounding us.

I practice psychodynamic therapy. My approach is warm, non-directive, non-judgmental, and holistic, as it welcomes you as a whole, including your history, your background, your personality, and your embodied experience.
encourage your own mindfulness, helping reduce harmful self-judgements and ultimately become more attuned to your needs, behaviors, and relationships.

Treatment will be active, involving education, manageable assignments, and tracking of goals. Sessions will be more frequent at first and then reduce as progress is made. Let's help you get back to enjoying your life.
