About My Clients
I work with people who want to heal from past experiences, feel more connected to themselves and others, and build a life that feels more aligned with their unique values. Together, we can identify patterns of interaction with your inner world and the world around you, understand why these patterns formed, experiment with new ways of relating to yourself and others, and rebuild trust in yourself.
My Background and Approach
Clients choose to work with me when they are seeking a therapist who is compassionate, collaborative, direct, and focused on a shared plan for making progress. Other therapists often refer clients to me when their clients need more specific trauma-related therapy or more support with changing very stuck patterns. I’m trained in several evidence-based practices that help people shift stuck patterns and thrive after challenging experiences, including DBT, ERP for OCD, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and EMDR. I am flexible in how I use these approaches and open to integrating other healing practices that feel meaningful to my clients. Some of my clients prefer a very structured and short-term approach that focuses on a single, specific problem. Others need more time to explore their inner worlds and gradually address broad themes that keep reemerging in their lives. I won’t assume that I know what you need or want. We will create a path forward that feels right to you.
My Values as a Therapist
I believe it’s important to keep learning and considering what I might not understand. A decade into my career, I returned to school for a Ph.D. in Community Psychology so that I could gain deeper training in multiple evidence-based trauma healing approaches and do community-based research that highlights injustices in the criminal legal system. to produce research that highlights injustices in the criminal legal system. I bring this dual attention to individual and collective experiences into my therapy work. While I value research as a means to find out what approaches are consistently helpful, I also understand there are many paths to healing that research has not highlighted. Ultimately, I aim to create a that draws on your wisdom and aligns with your values.
