work hard to find out what ISN'T working for you. What keeps you stuck? We will explore how you were raised, how the systems around you impact what you know and believe, and any unlearning that might have to happen for you to move forward.

that I am an active and direct therapist. My clients are used to getting homework- things like journaling, new behaviors to practice, readings, podcasts, etc! I don't beat around the bush and want you to get the most out of therapy.
Together we will work to identify and challenge the narratives that continue to perpetuate distress while refocusing on the many skills and abilities you possess so you can find new hopes and possibilities for your life.

I have a commitment to a collaborative, inclusive, strength-based, and trauma-informed practice. My orientation is with Narrative Practices, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Coaching and Resiliency Models.
We will develop new insights and self awareness. This might include clarifying values, understanding relationship dynamics, or recognizing the impact past experiences have on current functioning. New insights provide direction for needed change.

My approach to therapy is client centered and begins with a conversation to get to know you, your history, identities, struggles and strengths. Therapy begins as you are able to trust me and the process and honestly share your thoughts and feelings.
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.
