I don't believe in "mental illness": No one comes to therapy because has been too awesome. When we can identify the source of your pain and heal it, we can change your life. Everyone can get better. They just need to find the right therapist.

I have a down-to-earth style that is balanced by an ability to be direct when needed. Sometimes, people need more than reassurance and support in therapy. Sometimes they need someone to tell what they need to hear, even when it's tough.

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.

as a recovered People Pleaser, I won't bullshit you. I'll let you in on my thought process so you never have to leave guessing! Parts work & EMDR are "like therapy magic". Clients share relief for finally finding something that resonates.
I am a client-centered therapist but I do not sit in silence - I am active and will "be with you" in whatever you bring to therapy. I won't share much about myself, but I promise to be human with you. We will work toward what is most important to you

I use humor when appropriate and don't assign random "homework" just because in therapy - I do however recommend activities, books, and podcasts for use in between sessions when appropriate and specific to a client's goals.
understand the influences that have led you to where you are so you can make lasting changes that will impact how you feel about yourself and how you interact with others. We will work together to help you gain insight into problematic patterns.

I tend to work with clients in long-term, insight-oriented psychotherapy. We will work together to create a space where you can be yourself, build on your strengths, explore your vulnerabilities and grow from your challenges.
