I strongly believe that change can arise only from a place of compassionate self-acceptance. If you’re skeptical about that, that’s ok. I hope your curiosity will allow you to explore it.
I trust that we can make sense of difficult emotions, problem behaviors, or frustrating patterns. However, understanding isn’t enough. I’ll help you to gain practical skills for coping, to make concrete decisions, and to take steps towards changing behaviors and patterns.
Treatment methods I utilize include:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Internal Family Systems
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (Individual and Couples)
- Compassion Focused Therapy
I am trauma-informed and trained. Though I do not offer trauma-processing modalities such as EMDR, I view and work with my client's difficulties through a trauma lens.
I work with people of all backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, and relationship models. I am a culturally informed, intersectional, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. Whoever you are, your whole self is welcome here.
