About

If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, poor executive functioning, trauma, or other issues, you don't have to handle this alone. I'm committed to your well-being. You're entitled to your feelings and beliefs, and will always come first in this process. You don’t have to hide, please, or impress. You will be heard and accepted as you are, without judgment or labels. You are not your problem. You deserve to feel good. Knowing what happened to you is important but I don’t believe there’s something wrong with you.  If you can't believe this for yourself yet, I'll believe it for you until you do. I work collaboratively with you to create meaningful goals, implement strategies, develop skills, shift unhelpful patterns, let go of unhelpful stories and establish positive habits. I am Level Two certified in EMDR. I incorporate aspects of acceptance commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. I am deeply empathic, and strive to truly understand you. I’m honored by the connections I make with people of all ages, genders, cultures, and religions. My style is warm, kind, honest, genuine, non-judgmental, flexible, direct, and irreverent. I won’t pretend to have all the answers and don’t expect you to. A sense of humor and laughter are welcome.
