My Background and Approach

My style is warm, non-judgmental, and respectful. I match my strategies with the person I'm seeing, offering both short-term, pragmatic, solution-oriented therapy, and longer-term treatment that involves complex historical material and ingrained self-defeating patterns. I operate from a family-systems background, incorporating techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), distress tolerance skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Relaxation, and Guided Imagery.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, with awareness of the effects of systemic oppression as well as deep respect for all people. I specialize in helping clients with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, stress, parenting and blended families. I work with individual adults as well as couples. My goal is to help you identify and reach your treatment goals so that you can live with greater peace and connection with yourself and in your relationships.
