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.
In our therapy room, we'll go beyond just "how does that make you feel?" We'll dive into your inner landscape, exploring the hidden forces shaping your life. Think Jungian spelunking, but with laughter, tears, and the occasional existential scream.

my therapy isn't just a chat with a shrink. We dive deep into your psyche, uncovering the hidden "why" behind your behaviors. Sessions can entail anything between insight-oriented talk to dream analysis to deep somatic work.
give anxiety, OCD, & perfectionism the slip, accept the present moment, fight depressive self-talk, name & validate feelings & experiences, listen reflectively, connect w/ others. We can explore faith, & other work too. Bring your goals & I'll guide!

I bring Cog-B & mindfulness skills together in our work, untangling the stuck-thoughts, behaviors, & feelings along with acceptance of the present moment. OCD work is ERP exposure/response prevention together at your pace, never forced.
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.
Together, we will explore patterns in your relationships, and work to establish relationships that are healthy, and meaningful. We will also explore unhealthy patterns keeping you stuck, and work to heal and resolve these issues.

My approach is highly relational. When working with me you can expect to feel nurtured, validated, and heard. Deeply rooted patterns of behavior may also emerge. At this time I collaborate with you to develop coping resources, and healthy boundaries.
