My Approach to Helping

When we listen to our pain, we can become less lost in it. We can learn to relate to it more generously, with less judgment and more acceptance. In relating differently to pain and struggle, I support you in making incremental and consistent choices that will lead to meaningful change and growth in your life. Science has proven that our minds and behavior can and do change. Research suggests this happens through increased connection with ourselves and others and in finding meaning in struggle. Change happens through our growing capacity to be generous, flexible and kind to ourselves. As someone who has conducted research on the science of behavior change and its neural correlates, I believe change is possible for you, and for each of us!

My Values as a Therapist

I practice through the evidence-based frameworks of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), among others. I have experience working with adults challenged by self-criticism, shame, depression, anxiety, PTSD, combat trauma, complex trauma and gender identity exploration.  As someone with multiple majority identities, I have experienced much privilege in my life. I work to acknowledge how my privileges and biases may limit my growth and understanding. I engage clients in open and vulnerable conversations about these differences and how they may inform our therapeutic relationship. My professional and lived experience are grounded in a belief in community, shared experiences and belonging. You are here because you are willing to learn and try to relate to yourself and your life in new ways. I look forward to the privilege of supporting you in witnessing your own potential and capacity for growth.
