Making gentle changes takes effort and practice; no one wants to feel discouraged or stuck in pain. I honor the wish to reduce distress and find contentment. My approach is humanistic, client-centered, and framed by compassion. I focus on fostering an open, supportive environment that welcomes curiosity and encourages trying new patterns of thinking and behavior. I begin with a comprehensive assessment, collaborate on goals, and work alongside clients to build skills. I have significant experience in trauma-focused treatment, informed by brain-based science and developmental theory.
In my practice, I begin with a comprehensive assessment, collaborate on treatment goals, and then work steadily alongside my clients to build both intra- and interpersonal skills. I have significant clinical experience in trauma-focused treatment, informed by brain-based science and developmental theory.
