Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Let's get to know one another first! I am curious about who you are, what you are proud of, and who you want to be. My clients told me that, through improved self-knowledge, they've found what fulfillment means to them. You will be held and encouraged to answer the hard questions you are facing. You'll be given tools and guided toward deepened self-knowledge. Therapy is no easy fix, but I believe in the value of emotional honesty. Feelings are here to help us.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am a therapist with extensive theoretical education, implementing evidence-based approaches drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and humanistic or Gestalt approaches. I care about results and want you to no longer need me in a bit, so I collaborate with you to see if you notice any progress in areas you'd like to work on.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

You are my ideal client if you suffer from anxiety, depression, addiction, or OCD and are willing to get comfortable with discomfort. You feel overwhelmed by the relentless trials in life. You do your very best at delivering what's acceptable, but difficult emotions seem to be in control of you. You wonder why it's so difficult to be with your thoughts, why a stable connection with others feels so hard to establish, and why it feels so impossible to please everyone without compromising your own well-being. You want to know how to better relate to yourself and your loved ones. Is it even possible to be happy? Or is it impossible because something is wrong with me? These questions confront you so often, but you are struggling to find the answers.
