As a therapist my goal is to help people attune to their own set of needs, restore a healthy relationship with themself, and find a way to navigate the world authentically with grace and purpose. My approach is collaborative and begins with a thorough assessment, after which, we work together to develop a treatment plan. My goal is for clients to know what they are working on before the session, feel a sense of accomplishment throughout the session, and ultimately leave the session feeling proud. Assessments and treatment plans help clients develop a common language and also approach session time with a high level of intention.
As the saying goes, without a direction there are no fair winds. Assessments can be diagnostically driven or open-ended; sometimes they are problem-oriented and other times solution oriented. Some folks don't know where to begin– and that is OK too. Then we develop a treatment plan. If a type of therapy has a been successful in the past - then let's use it.
I use multiple modalities but prefer ones that give folks the tools/permission to develop a better relationship with themself. Reaching out for help is a daunting task rife with 'industry' jargon but give me a call and we can discuss your needs and see if it feels like a good fit.

If clients have a particular type of therapy (modality) that meets their needs, we can begin there. I am proficient in multiple modalities and use them to both reduce symptoms and address problems. In addition to CBT and DBT, I like to use Narrative, IFS, Psychodynamic or EMDR approaches because I think these types give individuals permission to develop a better relationship with themself.
