Humans need connection and support to thrive. My goal is to be that support as you grow, develop, and heal in the direction you want. I am not the expert of your life, you are. I strive to honor and validate your experience, while we uncover how your experiences have affected you and whether you want to do anything about that.
I use an array of modalities in my work, all underscored by a basic belief in your innate goodness. I am a firm believer in Rogers' theory that productive therapy is based on unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence from the therapist. I also employ CBT, DBT, EFT, Gestalt, and ACT as appropriate to the client's need.
To be human is to be struggling with something. Often this struggle prevents humans from achieving their desire of being happy and healthy. Why struggle alone?

It's not about my preferred modalities, it's about which ones will resonate with you. Good therapy is a collaboration.
