I believe my role as a therapist is similar to both a detective and a tour guide in helping you navigate and explore who you are, where you've been, who you want to become, and where you want to go. I am also a personal trainer, certified nutrition coach, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, providing separate services in those areas as well.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I believe that psychotherapy is a fundamentally relational process. With adolescents and adults I emphasize developing mood regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal relationships, and self-efficacy. With athletes and other performance-driven individuals I focus on the complexities of training, integration, and personal identity.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to endure with my clients. Sometimes we much challenge things together, and sometimes we may face challenges between us, but I make every effort to remain diligent in steadfast in my duty to serve my clients with excellence as the standard of care. With almost 10 years of practice, I have learned to remain humble and kind, most of all with my clients. This has been inspired by the guiding goals I place on each session to: show up, pay attention, tell the truth, and not be attached to outcomes.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Attachment-based
Attachments are the root of our connection to other people. Their influence and impact on our development is immeasurable. Understanding how attachment "styles" develop and impact on our tenancies, both maladaptive and to cope, is an extremely valuable tool in therapy.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT skills to help clients develop skill to tolerate distress, regulate their emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and cultivate mindfulness.
Psychodynamic
One of the most important interventions a therapist can provide is listening. I try to listen as carefully as possible to my clients and provide unique reflections that both evoke insight within the client (in a way they may not have heard what they were saying before) and to highlight repetitions or oddities of speech or behavior that are curious either by their presence or absence.
Humanistic
Above all, my goal is to help my clients. As such, I am open to a diverse array of tools, methods, and practices to achieve the goal of becoming a better version of themselves.
