Hi there, and welcome! One of my central beliefs that drives how I show up with clients is this: You make sense. Throughout our lives, we are deeply impacted by both good & difficult experiences. We build defenses & habits that may have ensured safety in the past, but are now contributing to difficulty & suffering in our personal lives. This belief impacts my work with clients in that my assumption will always be that you are not "crazy": the way that you are & what you are experiencing makes sense. Together we can understand & navigate the factors that are increasing distress in your life.
I specialize in helping young adults & adults navigate anxiety, stress management, life transitions & the impacts of trauma. I integrate CBT skills, Relational Psychodynamic Theory, Somatic Theory, and EMDR to help clients better understand & manage how past experiences are impacting the present.
One of the main indicators of successful therapy really depends on the client-therapist connection. Developing a consistent, trustworthy relationship where you feel understood is always going to be my highest priority. Whatever the content of our sessions, you can expect me to show up with warmth, support, curiosity, skill, & transparent honesty.
