My Approach to Helping

My clients would describe me as someone who is direct but gentle and determined but patient. I am someone who will enthusiastically encourage you to follow your path and also point out when you’re dousing the path with gasoline. I have been told that people feel like I handle their difficult stories with genuine respect and care. In the therapy room, I like to let you guide our conversation, but I’m also happy to provide structure to those who want it. I’m an eclectic provider, but I gravitate towards narrative therapy, internal family systems, attachment-based therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. In plain English, that means that I like helping you make sense of the things that have happened to you, relearn how to connect with other people in a healthy way, and to teach you how to assess your own patterns and behaviors in a way that reduces your symptoms.

My Values as a Therapist

Humility is one of my core values as a therapist. I believe in leveling or equalizing the therapeutic relationship with my clients. This is a cooperative partnership towards the path of healing and not one where I'm up on a pedestal. I have learned something from every person I've worked with! Creativity is also something I'm passionate about. I believe therapy is an art form and that there's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to sessions. Everyone needs a new approach. Self-determination is also important. Your goals for therapy matter way more than mine! As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am a proud provider of queer and trans-affirming care. This also means I welcome working with family members who want to improve their understanding and be better allies. I strive to meet everyone where they’re at and to create a judgment-free space. At the end of the day, I think we have more similarities with each other than differences, and we all want to live life as our true selves.
