I place a great deal of importance on the therapeutic alliance, which is just a fancy name for the relationship between the two of us. Tons and tons of research show great alliances make for great therapeutic results.

Right off the bat, my number one priority will be making you comfortable. Therapy works best when you feel at ease, and your brain gets that you're in a safe place to explore what's been doing on and what you would like to create in your life.
Explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I will create an atmosphere that allows you to let your guard down, without fear of judgment. We will be a team. I will be by your side as we navigate your deepest thoughts and hardest emotions.

I foster trust with you. I provide a place for you to be vulnerable. Vulnerable enough to let you express yourself truly, wholly, and without judgment. I will provide for you a safe space to cry, yell, vent - whatever you need. This is your time.
We will explore the narratives that you hold about yourself and life. We will create a shared space of safety and will work to connect authentically to emotions. We will reflect on how life's experiences and systems impact understanding and healing.

I use games and storytelling to help build understanding, confidence, and connection. I offer culturally-humble care, providing individual therapy specialized in trauma work, and in therapeutically-applied role-playing game group therapy.
Together we will understand what you want and what may feel like is holding you back. We will then develop a practical plan to learn new tools and practice new behaviors that can help you get unstuck and on a path to living the life you want.

I'm trained in several approaches that can create new insights about your emotions. Our well-being is best achieved by addressing the whole person. My holistic approach respects the individuality of people their environment, and their physical needs.
explore how your feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress impact your daily functioning. We will use different tools to help you develop new ways of understanding and reacting to life stressors.

Through gentle exploration and skill building, you will be guided to a place of understanding, acceptance, and compassion for where you are in your journey and how you got here. I like to use CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based interventions.
