I believe Irvin Yalom said it best when he said we need to form a unique therapy for every person. We are all unique, our relationships and experiences are unique, and in therapy we need to find your own path forward in life. We can find that as a conversation between two experts, you being the expert in your own life, and me being an expert in this field. Together, we can work to help you find what you are looking for in therapy. Whether it is a skill and action motivated plan, or a space to emotionally process things regularly, or anything in between.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session my entire goal is just for us to get to know one another, establish our working relationship, and explore what you would like to get out of the experience of us working together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider my biggest focus is ensuring you are seen and heard as a person in our sessions. I model much of my approach after the Carl Jung quote: "Know all the theories. Master all the techniques. But as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul."

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment therapy creates a great framework in which we can identify values, find willingness to do what matters, accept difficult feelings, respond to unhelpful thought patterns, build self-awareness, and practice mindfulness.

EMDR

EMDR is an amazing processing tool that allows us to process and heal from trauma, both single episode and life-long. If you are interested in EMDR, we will build skills around the process first to ensure safety, and then go at the exact pace and targets you desire.
