Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My approach to therapy is eclectic and reflects my belief that individuals and their experience are unique. Counseling should be dynamic, person-centered, and not cookie-cutter. Some of the evidence-based practices I incorporate include: EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Progressive Counting (PC), Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, narrative, and solution-focused interventions. I may assign homework &/or suggest external resources to aid recovery. Our work together will be collaborative and reflect your needs and goals.
What do you view as a key component of the therapeutic relationship?
One very important component of the therapeutic relationship is trust. Trust, warmth, and positive regard, along with collaboration and understanding of your needs, are foundational to creating an alliance. I will regularly ask for feedback about what is going well and what is not. Open communication is essential for our work together.
What’s the most profound, insightful, or interesting thing you’ve learned as a mental health professional?
The human mind is amazing. The brain is capable of profoundly disturbing thoughts, feelings, and scary stress responses, but it's also capable of incredible healing and adaptive functioning. Being asked to help guide a journey from despair to recovery and hope is a privilege. If you are looking for an off-ramp from pain, or contemplating if your worthy of the trip, let's talk. I can help you map your exit ramp.
