We'll work to build a safe relationship in therapy so that you can experiment with new ways of handling difficult emotions, articulating boundaries, exploring vulnerability, understanding internal thought patterns and regulating body reactions.

I personalize my integrative approach, using Attachment-Focused EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Interpersonal Process as my primary approaches. I respect and incorporate many intersections of clients' identities and strengths.
Help you create a richer understanding of yourself, increase self-esteem, and create relationships that are secure and fulfilling. We can explore patterns/values you grew up with and decide which of these still work for you as a partner & parent.

I have a knack for seeing untapped potential. I'll help you untangle the nuanced web that is your mind and make space for your intellectual complexities while encouraging you to wade into the water of your emotional experiences without drowning.
Work together to overcome whatever it is that’s getting the best of you. I partner with you to go from “WTF happened?!” To “I got this!”.

What sets me apart is that I'm a combat veteran and trauma survivor. I struggled in ways like too many of us do. That's why this isn't "Just a job" for me. I get it, and I can meet you where you are because I've walked in those shoes myself.
In our work together, my hope is that you will: feel heard, seen, & valued; be able to say what you need to say, however you need to say it; find compassion for yourself; gain insight & coping strategies to help you feel balanced and well.

My approach to therapy is trauma-driven and client-centered, with a splash of humor. I have specialized training in trauma and trauma-processing techniques and experience with anxiety, depression, teen identity struggles, and school difficulties.
We will examine experientially the emotionally meaningful story of your life.

I join with the client to see what obstacles (e,g, defense mechanisms) are keeping the person back, in a position of suffering or otherwise not-free and clear to choose the most fulfilling path in life.
