Have you been struggling to shake off feelings of guilt, shame, or low self-esteem? Have difficult events or relationships left an impact on you? Do you feel different or disconnected from others, or perhaps yourself? Have worry or low mood become 'normal' in your life? My therapy approach is anchored in genuineness, an open mind, and humor (where appropriate). I balance my focus on the past, present, and future to be sure no client is reduced to a single label. In my experience, these foundations create a safe space for expanding your perspectives on life and building your capacities to move through it.
I currently work with adults of all ages (17+). It is important to me to be aware of cultural and social factors and explore how they may impact both your mental health and mental health treatment. I currently practice under the supervision of Dr. Natalie Charron, PsyD.
You may already know what your goals or hopes are for therapy, but it’s also okay to be unsure. Figuring out what isn't working, or what is needed can be a great first step to take together. Please feel welcome to reach out, I would be happy to hear from you.

My approach is best described as integrative, meaning that I pull compatible elements from multiple types of therapy to best match each client's unique needs. For instance, EFT can help translate confusing or overwhelming emotions into tangible needs. ACT can help turn those insights into workable action. IFS and EMDR are modalities that build self-compassion in the place of trauma.
