I will be very frank and honest with you, while also pragmatic. I like to converse and hear what is on your mind, molding that into a topic related to what your issues are. I look at how you think and what that does to your emotions.
Step one, figure out what is fueling the grimy pond. A mentor once told me, “If you don’t know where you are going, how do you know when you get there?” Step two is identifying what you want your clear pond to look like.

I like analogies... you are currently sitting in a pond full of grime and slime, no wildlife in sight, and the water is muddy brown. This is what life looks like following hard seasons, bad childhoods, or rough relationships.
We will work together to heal past or current traumas, griefs and losses, and addictions, if that's a concern. All the while, we will be identifying and building on your strengths, moving towards a life that feels meaningful and engaged for you.

I take a trauma-informed approach to therapy, so our work together will be collaborative. I use a range of approaches including EMDR, FLASH, Adaptive Disclosure, talk therapy, and more to help you heal and build the life you want.

I focus on what will work best for you. I do not use the same approach for each individual as each person is different. I want you to feel comfortable enough with me to tell me if something is not working. I want you to be heard and have a voice.
