Ultimately, you should walk away from your first session feeling safe, heard, validated, and supported. Although counseling can be scary and painful, especially in the beginning, the hope is that you feel confident enough in our partnership that you feel empowered to take whatever steps are needed. I believe that everyone can heal, transform, and thrive with the right amount of support, knowledge, and guidance to do so. Developing self-compassion, patience, and understanding is critical for that journey. Together, we take two steps back to get a better view of where and how you arrived here - and then we figure out which ways work best for you to achieve your goals.

I believe that knowledge is power, and that power equips people to advocate for themselves - in and out of the therapeutic environment. You'll get information about the approaches I use, as well as situations you find yourself in or conditions you have. We explore systemic influences while developing compassionate accountability for individual choices. Trained in EMDR with a background in Internal Family Systems, I generally use a trauma-focused, eclectic, and client-centered approach. That approach may use some handouts, but art, videos, TikTok, memes, or even music can find a welcome place in therapy. We'll identify parts young and old, bringing balance to internal systems by applying compassion, curiosity, creativity, and courage, among other qualities.
