I create a safe space for you to explore thoughts and feelings, develop insight, and integrate the past into the present so that you can feel more alive. We'll explore questions such as: how am I feeling right now? What thoughts, memories, and associations are coming up for me? What is the meaning that I am making about myself, others, and about my place in the world? As an existential-humanistic and IFS therapist, I view the therapy room as a place to slow down and deeply notice what is happening within yourself. I do so because I believe self-knowledge is key to a fulfilling life.
I believe in digging deep. Yet I also know we often need better skills to emotionally regulate, manage anxiety and anger, and communicate effectively. That's why I am also trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, the gold-standard treatment for managing overwhelming emotions. At Authentic Being, skillful action joins compassionate curiosity.
A core tenet of mine is that each client is an individual with a unique experience. While diagnoses can be a useful starting place, a client cannot be reduced to a list of symptoms. A secure relationship between therapist and client is very to successful therapy outcomes, and I work collaboratively with each client from a stance of compassionate curiosity.

I believe in digging deep. Present-day problems such as relationship issues, anxiety, and low self-esteem, are often tied to core memories and attachment issues. At the same time, I know that there can be no trauma reprocessing until you feel safe enough within yourself and with your therapist. You are in charge of the therapy process.
