I believe we are remarkably resilient; have an innate ability to understand ourselves and to repair; are multifaceted and unique; and are made to live in connection. The foundation of my therapeutic approach is based entirely upon being in connection with and curious about clients. A strong and respectful relationship and connection between a therapist and a client is the prerequisite for a positive outcome or positive outcomes for a client.
I call my practice Acorn to Oak Therapy. I work with clients to tend to and support both the acorns (the parts of you with potential, still wanting to incubate or waiting to take seed) and the oak tree (the parts of you deeply imbedded, grown, and sturdily expressed).
After a 15 minute phone consultation, I offer a 30-45 minute no-fee Initial Meeting. It's important to be picky when choosing a therapist. A strong and positive connection between a client and their psychotherapist is essential for positive outcomes for clients.

I support clients to explore and identify their therapeutic goals, and the therapy thereafter is shaped by client goals. My work is most informed by Attachment & Trauma-informed and Cognitive Behavioral & Mindfulness approaches. What does that mean? 1) The client/therapist relationship is very important in my work. 2) With clients' goals as the compass for my inquiry, I am gently directive.
