Hello & welcome to my profile! I'd like to commend you for taking the first step in your healing journey. It's important to me that you feel safe and in control of your therapy process. Please know that I am a note minimalist & I prioritize your trust. I was taught psychotherapy from a Person- centered framework, with a psychodynamic background. All of this is to say that your input will very much guide the therapy process, and we can spend some time uncovering and interpreting past experiences & how they may have shaped core schemas. We can explore how these paradigms or thinking patterns no longer serve us, and explore ways we can go about challenging and reframing our thoughts toward self compassion. I have been known to draw from both my (fantasy type) nerdery, & humor at times when necessary, for the sake of forming a therapeutic alliance. I have experience & enjoy working with a variety of clients and populations, with special interest in ADHD, trauma, Co-occurring disorders, aviation professionals, parenting and relationship concerns, & life transitions, to name a few. I look forward to being a part of your journey!
