I'm very active in session. I will share my thoughts if you would like to hear them and I will ask permission to challenge the thoughts/fears that may be getting in your way. Therapy doesn't have to be serious all the time either; Dark humor is OK!
Discuss your childhood and how it is currently affecting you. As kids we all adapt to our family to survive. These adaptations helped us in childhood, but as adults cause a lot of confusing problems. We will quickly make sense of what is going on.

I'm laid back. I'm approachable and usually establish a good working relationship during the first meeting. I've done a lot of work on myself so I'm good at picking up on what you are trying to say. You can fully be yourself and you will be accepted.

I am an active therapist, meaning that I will ask questions and point out patterns to help you get to the root of what really brought you into therapy. My aim is not to tell you what to do, but rather to help you listen to your own inner wisdom.

I work from an integrative approach, drawing on evidence-based interventions, clinical instincts, and the therapy relationship. I often use cognitive behavioral therapy as well as incorporate insight-oriented skills and emotional processing.
