Introduction

I’m a warm and caring therapist who often describes themselves as “lovingly direct”. Often, I will utilize aspects of our relationship to highlight barriers to change and provide a warm and directive approach to push you towards growth. I enjoy being an active participant in the therapeutic process and utilizing our relationship together to help you towards your goals. Through our trust, I help my clients learn how to sit with emotions that may feel challenging and give clients reparative emotional experiences by tolerating their emotions within our relationship. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Once we have a strong relationship, I draw from a variety of techniques to help you understand yourself and start to create change. As a strengths-based therapist, I help you to see what is already working well and figure out how to expand upon that. As an integrative therapist, I commonly utilize interventions from mindfulness, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, the unified protocol, attachment theory, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help you understand the functional purpose of your emotions. I use the approaches that match the client and the moment. I also enjoy working somatically and with different mind/body approaches to therapy. When appropriate, and usually with clients that I have been processing trauma with for some time, I enjoy utilizing EMDR to help clients reprocess memories.
