About My Clients
Do you find yourself often living anywhere but in the present moment? Missing the opportunity to savor and enjoy your life due to distractions from past traumas or future anxieties? Done with no longer serving and unhelpful coping habits and patterns? I collaborate with folks who wish to live most fully and skillfully in the here and now—leveraging evidence-based tools of reflection, reorientation, and resourcing to craft their vision of a most empowered, intentional, and liberated life.
My Background and Approach
I practice from a humanist perspective emphasizing the evidence-based therapeutic benefits of presence, self-awareness, joy and pleasure cultivation, and emotion regulation toolkit building. I provide counseling and skills training using a variety of approaches including but not limited to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, compassionate reflection, social justice, multicultural theories, interpersonal neurobiology, and mindfulness practices. My professional love language is resource gathering and sharing. I find great value in exploring, leveraging, and tailoring findings from the stretches of interpersonal neurobiology to secular and/or spiritual meaning-making for impactful individual application. My counseling style is warm and direct. I believe in the power of our intentions and attention, and consider presence the place from where tangible healing and growth can be seeded and nurtured.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Therapy is your process, paced by you, and oriented toward your vision of well-being. I'm here to unconditionally hold a safe space, reflect, encourage, and thought-partner. I am oriented toward furthering individual and collective liberation from conditioning and systems that would have us believe we are anything less than whole, complete, and worthy. Practicing what I preach, I know and am humbled by the strength and courage required to show up, do the work, and grow through this journey. I would be delighted to connect if you think sharing presence would be supportive.
