bring our unique skills and talents to therapy: you are the expert on you, and I have expertise on helping people navigate life effectively. I believe most humans yearn for connection and to be truly known and accepted for who they are.

I am an active therapist, meaning that I will ask questions and point out patterns to help you get to the root of what really brought you into therapy. My aim is not to tell you what to do, but rather to help you listen to your own inner wisdom.
find out what has happened to you and how it changed your life. We will think of what life could be like if all the problems went away. Then we will get to work at getting closer to that life.

I approach people through a trauma informed lens. I normalize current problematic behavior as useful while working to create healthy alternatives. I like to work together to come to solutions.
We will examine experientially the emotionally meaningful story of your life.

I join with the client to see what obstacles (e,g, defense mechanisms) are keeping the person back, in a position of suffering or otherwise not-free and clear to choose the most fulfilling path in life.
We'll work together to understand how and why painful thoughts and emotions show up for you, and if there are ways you can respond differently when they do.

My approach is science-based, compassionate, and collaborative. I want to understand you as a whole person, including what you're struggling with, what you enjoy, and what matters most to you.
Work together to explore difficulties that you are experiencing in relationships - not only with your partner, family, or friends - but also yourself! My goal is to create a safe space for you to move towards authenticity and self-acceptance.

I start each session with "what is present with you today?". I genuinely care about your wellbeing and want to know how I can support you. We will identify goals, explore current stressors, and work together towards your personal healing journey.
