In our sessions we'll work collaboratively to identify what is causing you to feel stressed or burned out, develop strategies to get you unstuck, and identify what you want from life.

I primarily utilize acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which involves identifying what you want in life and how you want to show up for yourself and others. We work on viewing thoughts and feelings as information rather than as driving forces.
Work to identify strategies and techniques that can begin to offer some relief. We will also begin to alter problematic/less functional narratives that negatively impact your life. Self-compassion is a skill that I work on with almost every client.

It is my responsibility to pay attention to the big picture- noting common themes that come up. Often concerns that we have present differently across different domains (work, home, etc.) but the emotional underpinnings and impact can be similar.
You are welcome to discuss any topic. I like to focus on strengthening the core skills you have and building new skills that help your quality of life improve. I encourage you to reduce social anxiety and engaging in fun things to improve your mood.

I utilize a variety of approaches such as EMDR, CBT, trauma informed goal setting therapy, and pain reprocessing therapy to help you resolve past trauma, stuck points, and reduce your anxiety . Burn out and compassion fatigue is very common as well.
I am committed to finding an approach suited to your strengths and needs without judgement. Over the past 16 years, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds in a variety of settings as a mental health professional and social worker.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance practice and skill building for coping with stressors best describe my clinical approach. I deeply respect client rights and believe in a strong therapeutic alliance between client and clinician.
I don't believe in "mental illness": No one comes to therapy because has been too awesome. When we can identify the source of your pain and heal it, we can change your life. Everyone can get better. They just need to find the right therapist.

I have a down-to-earth style that is balanced by an ability to be direct when needed. Sometimes, people need more than reassurance and support in therapy. Sometimes they need someone to tell what they need to hear, even when it's tough.
