Getting stuck is easy. Getting unstuck doesn’t have to be as lonely and painful as it sometimes feels and sometimes is.
My path to this career hasn't been linear, and I'm no stranger to feeling stuck at times. Feeling & getting stuck is part of being human. I’m starting out with this to let you know that as a therapist, I won’t be parroting jargon, telling you how to live your best life or telling you what you should do. I’ll listen, then listen some more, then keep listening for patterns. We’ll work together to harness your capacity for change, your ability to get unstuck, and when needed, find other resources and supports.
My approach to therapy is both familiar in tone and deeply rooted in science and evidence-based practice. I’ll help you to understand patterns in your relationships; help you make sense of the senseless; and help you rekindle some hope even if that sounds laughable. This all starts with clearly defining our treatment goals... and what we're doing together.
My clinical background includes working with teens in high-acuity residential treatment; trauma-informed work with refugees and asylum seekers in the public school system; working with adults of all ages with co-occurring (substance use and other mental health) disorders in individual practice, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs.
