Many clients that I've seen for depressive symptoms find themselves somewhere on this scale - on the left are clients with thoughts like "I wish I was never born" or "I wish I didn't wake up." On the right, are clients that have a suicide plan in the making. In the middle are clients with thoughts like "what if I just drove off this bridge" or "what if I stepped in front of that car." These thoughts are far more common than you'd think. If this is you, please reach out, even if it's not to me.

Grief can have so much pain to navigate. Whether you've lost a friendship or relationship, a loved one has passed, or you've been fired, grief can be complex. I help clients honor their grief, but also find joy after loss. We don't cut grief out, we just make room for it.

Sometimes anxiety is the problem and sometimes its a symptom of a problem. I help with both by finding root causes and thinking patterns that aren't helping you. In today's world, I'm not going to tell you that your worries are just worries. Politics, grocery prices, and rent are enough to induce some anxiety and a therapist can't change those things. What we can do is work on how you handle these things.

I use CBT when clients are looking for something direct and based on the present. It's not my main modality because I find it to be a bit cold, but it is an effective tool that provides clarity for many behaviors.

Narrative is my main treatment model. I find that many clients come to therapy and explain what's going on through storytelling. I use narrative to challenge perspectives, separate the problem from you, re-story, and empower my clients.

I do NOT have a specific credential (such as EMDR). What I offer is therapy through a trauma informed lens. Trauma is more common than ever these days and it's important that a therapist can distinguish between trauma responses and other behaviors. Most therapists can treat anxiety, but not everyone sees the link between anxiety and trauma you may have experienced.
