My ideal client would be someone who desperately wants change and is ready to be curious, engaged, and deliberate with their growth. You would be open to creative and alternative approaches, and perhaps you've had many other 'failed' attempts at therapy. I enjoy complex cases, people trying to navigate difficult relationships, and being able to validate the struggles that you've been through. If you want to learn more about your mind, body, brain, past, and psyche and turn that knowledge into actionable steps toward wellness, we'll be a great fit!
I've had a lot of experience with individuals with complex traumas, comorbid chronic medical conditions, and difficulties with functioning and managing emotions. The modalities of therapy I use incorporate change with each of these through acceptance, skills growth, and improving internal cohesion within yourself.

I do a lot of parts work and skills work through IFS and DBT to address behavioral and cognitive self sabotaging and distress. This is effective with a large array of disorders and is generally beneficial for almost all symptoms.

REBT, DBT, and IFS all work very well together. I often bolster this with trauma focused care, spiritual mindsets, and solution focused measures where necessary or asked for.
