I have also worked with and welcome individuals with psychosis, substance abuse challenges, relationship struggles, personality disorders, working through grief, needing caregiving/parenting support, and exploring their identity.
My Background and Approach
Knowing that the therapeutic relationship is paramount to the success of the process, there are several tools we can utilize depending on your needs and preferences. I primarily operate using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also apply Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed paradigms mindfulness, body-centered approaches, and Motivational Interviewing. It is important to me that I stay current in research and use modalities that have evidence behind their effectiveness, and am always open to sharing more details about these approaches so we can identify what may work best for you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
You are the expert in your experiences, & I seek to partner with you to explore & remove barriers that may be dimming your inner spark. It is truly an honor to be invited into the inner lives & experiences of others, & it is amazing what can be accomplished through relationship. A therapist & client develop a real human connection & research shows this is the most important predictor of positive outcomes. Healing often involves laughter, I trust we will build ease & levity together. My approach is flexible & I'm dedicated to shifting it based on your evolving priorities and goals. Growth takes time, I'm here to help you find ways to cope while you heal and uncover the light within. I wholeheartedly welcome and celebrate LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC folks, & am deeply committed to social justice, equity, & anti-racism. Any sliding scale fees or discounted services are prioritized for those of marginalized communities. Collaboration is the upmost importance to me, and I invite & value feedback.
