My approach is strength-based and focuses on using curiosity to attend to those areas of a client’s current functioning which enhance addressing daily challenges and those which interfere with daily functioning.
We will build rapport and relationship while focusing on your identified goals. I have the utmost respect for the client's time in therapy. I incorporate some somatic exercises to support our work.

I incorporate several theoretical frameworks into my therapy practice, and am most drawn to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Somatic Therapy in the context of Attachment Theory and Respectful/Reciprocal Relationships.
Together, we will help you understand yourself better: what you're made of, what you want, what you're good at, and what you need to do to grow into the person you want to become.

I have an eclectic approach; I use a lot of cognitive behavioral methods (examine unhelpful thinking habits) combined with psychodynamic exploration (family history) to make connections to current difficulties. I also tend to use humor.
We will uncover knowledge & skills you have acquired from your lived experience (strengths) & apply them in achieving your goals. My approach is a mix of narrative therapy, mindfulness, somatic practices, polyvagal theory-based therapy, etc.

I guide clients on working with their autonomic nervous system, which is the base of our self-healing mechanism, rather than going against it. We would do embodying & mindfulness practices as well as talk therapy to bring about the life you hope for.
look inward at your thoughts, feelings, identities, and values, while also exploring environmental factors, family of origin, and relational patterns to strengthen both your sense of self and your connections with others.

I help my clients develop real strategies to cope with stress and mental health symptoms, while also going deeper to get to the root of the problem and create longterm change. I am guided by relational, psychodynamic, and depth-oriented approaches.
