Welcome! I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in trauma/PTSD, and mood and anxiety disorders. I work with ages 6+ across the lifespan and enjoy working with a variety of populations. My approach to therapy is eclectic, down-to-earth and interactive; I tend to pull from different theoretical concepts and apply a variety of therapies to fit clients' developmental stage, preferences and needs. I am happy to address any questions or concerns that you may have before scheduling with me (please use the "free consult" feature under booking).
I have been on the other side of the couch so I know what it is like to be in the patient role. This process can be daunting, but the good news is that you have already taken the first step! All I ask is that you are present and open to the process. I will be sure to meet you where you're at as an equal, and I always welcome feedback as we work together.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for ALL where clients can explore themselves and their lives as well as their unique strengths and obstacles.
First and foremost, I believe in a person-centered model of care and a tailored approach to needs. I am trained in and practice a variety of popular therapies, but do not believe that any one approach supersedes another as they all have their strengths and weaknesses. I find myself most often using cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to my work with clients. I am a firm believer that the therapeutic relationship we build is the best therapy of all :)
