As a self-proclaimed "brain nerd," I love exploring neurobiology in therapy sessions. I value building a genuine connection with my clients and believe in being authentic. My goal is to empower my clients and provide them with strength, purpose, clarity, and relief after each session.

As a Client-Centered therapist, I prioritize evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy. We'll delve into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, tackling anxiety and incorporating mindfulness techniques if you're open to it. I have a casual, authentic approach and value your feedback as we work together towards your goals.
We change when something is emotionally important. We will explore what gets your attention and use that energy to your advantage. Self-Care can be challenging but we have to get it in there somehow. Alienation, anger, fear, hurt, guilt can haunt us.

When we drive we have blind spots. When we live we have blind spots. To improve awareness we will explore your inner world, feel it, think about it, give it words or images and be creative thinkers. We can use books, movies, dreams or music to help.
Broad themes that I often discuss with clients include boundary work, patterns/roles in life and within relationships, and how the creative process can be included in the therapeutic work.

I have a nondirective therapeutic style. I let my clients lead what they want to explore and talk about in session. I include the creative process and art making as an important tool for self expression and explorations of emotions.
I focus on emotion identification. Learning to name what you feel is the first step in learning how to cope with emotions. This is how you learn to move with and through emotions rather than fight against them.

I use a person centered approach with a focus on strength identification and development of coping skills. Feeling heard, connected, and motivated leads to personal growth.
Work towards your values and what you want to get out of therapy. Some people come to therapy to talk about every day stress. Others need a space to grieve or to work through life experiences. I am here for what YOU need.

When you or your child work with me, I use a creative approach so that therapy can be fun and productive! For example, is your interest in video games, music, art? We can use that in therapy!
