My approach is emotion-focused, direct, and practical to help you actually feel differently instead of just talking about it.
Identify what you value, what fulfills you, and what gives you a sense of purpose. From there, we will figure out what you can do to build the life (including the kind of relationships) you want.

By helping you understand how you came to think, feel, and behave as you do now, we can cultivate self-acceptance, harness your strengths, develop effective coping skills, and help you live in a way that is congruent with your own values and goals.
During our initial sessions, we're focused on bringing you relief. We'll explore your most pressing concerns together and learn skills that will bring you comfort in the immediate term. Most clients see improvement in about a month.

After initial relief, we'll work on the roots of your concerns. We can build healthy self esteem, reduce daily anxiety, process grief & loss -- we'll work on long term solutions that will address your problems on a deeper, more lasting level.
Determine the areas where you feel stuck, uncertain or in pain and make a plan together. You are an active part of your treatment and I rely on incorporating your experience, values and ideas into our work.

At the core of my work is the belief in the importance of self-compassion. Whether we are addressing past traumas, current functioning or future goals, the acceptance of yourself as a wonderfully imperfect human is a strong foundation for change.
We will journey together at your pace, not mine, to help ease your distress. I work from a humanistic orientation weaving together psychoeducation, EMDR, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychoanalytic Therapy.
