Former clients have described me as warm, genuine, helpful, and empathetic. Whether we’re talking about current events or analyzing deeply rooted patterns and beliefs, my approach is to be curious and compassionate. I bring my personality into the room with me (metaphors, cursing, and occasional awkwardness included) and I invite you to do the same. We’ll talk about the difficult stuff, but also celebrate every success along the way.

I also want to acknowledge that circumstances are not always within our control, and change isn’t about just “trying harder.” Politics, classism, racism, and other systems can and do impact how we move through the world. I think it’s vital to discuss these in therapy and name when they are impacting your life and goals.

I’m not a specialist in any specific “type” of therapy, but I pull from therapeutic modalities such as Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
