I use psychodynamic therapy, CBT, EFT, and ACT to aid clients. I believe that the relationship is crucial to create therapeutic change. Much focus is given to this and the emotions that are present, while engaged in the difficult work of change.
We work under the belief of 3 key principles: (1) everyone has the ability to change (2) while we cannot change what happened in the past, we can change how those past events affect us in the present and (3) we are always in charge of our emotions.

I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with relationship problems, trauma, depression and anxiety. I utilize a solutions-focused style that combines CBT techniques with a family systems approach.

I am not the therapist who will just "umm hmm" and "How does that make you feel"...I'm much more direct than many therapists, though I will go at your pace. I am EMDR certified but I do not use EMDR with every client if it is not needed or desired.

My approach to psychotherapy is highly person-centered and collaborative, and I aim to provide a safe, supportive environment for my clients to deepen their understanding of themselves and learn new ways of coping with life's challenges.
We will identify the past's grip on the present to gain understanding of negative patterns, then collaboratively establish new narrative through self awareness and re-authoring your life so you can reach your specific goals.

I start with self discovery and awareness, then I focus on the potential solutions and strengths unique to the individual. I believe each individual is different, therefore I also use an integrative approach that is tailored to the person's reality.
