My approach (informed by IFS and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy) is to help my clients discover the parts of themselves that are responding to past trauma and feelings of overwhelm. These parts can lead to anxiety, depression, dissociation, and more.
not only address and alleviate the negative, but we will foster the positive! We can focus on quality of life, treating anxiety/depression, adapting to new life circumstances, navigating and building relationships, improving sleep, and managing pain.

I don't have a set approach. Every person is different and every problem is different, which means every treatment needs to be different. First we will identify what matters to you and what your goals are, then we will create a plan to reach them!
Learn how to come to terms with past events that have led you to this point and accept, rather than fight, feelings such as anxiety, grief, guilt, and shame. I can also help you learn skills to build a life that you are happy to wake up and live.

Many of my clients come to me at pivotal points in life. Times in life where you know you can't keep living the way you are but you can't see a way forward.
talk about interpersonal relationships (i.e. family dynamics, romantic partnerships), identity issues (i.e. diversity, self-confidence), and adulting obstacles (i.e. money management, major/career selection). We'll get you feeling clear & confident!

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!
start with a thoughtful, comprehensive diagnostic process to make sure we understand your experience. We'll then select a treatment approach, and gently but strategically dismantle OCD, PTSD, insomnia, skin-picking, etc--all from the comfort of home.

I specialize in offering new, evidence-based treatment options for OCD and related and co-occuring conditions that are more gentle and affirming than traditional approaches. These are friendly for neurodivergent folks and those with a trauma history.
