Hello!

My Approach

If you care about the jargon, I’ll tell you that my practice is person centered, trauma informed, and strengths based. I draw from several research-based modalities depending on the individual needs of each client, including somatic therapy, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT). I’m also trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). What that really means is, together we’ll take the time necessary to process your needs, explore new ways to cope, and move you consciously towards your mental health goals. When I say I am direct & collaborative as a therapist I mean it.  We will have real conversations during sessions. Last but definitely not least: I respect the diverse backgrounds and identities of my clients. I recognize the impact of culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and other factors on a person's mental health. I also actively work to acknowledge and better understand how those same factors impact my practice as a therapist.
