About My Clients
Are you experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, low motivation, apathy, and maybe even increased adverse effects of drugs or alcohol use? Then I am here to help so that you can have a renewed sense of self and well being.
My Background and Approach
For the last 10 years I have worked with people struggling with substance use, complex trauma, value(s) confusion, the challenges of being a new parent, as well as treatment resistant depression and anxiety. I am a harm reductionist that utilizes a variety of strategies to help you move towards your identified goals for change. Some of these strategies include Brainspotting, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Relational Therapy. Former clients have described me as direct and affirming with a wicked sense of humor. They have noted that our work together has improved their self awareness and self compassion, as well as increased ability to navigate the challenges that emerge in day to day life. Our focus is defined in collaboration together. You are the expert in your life and we will build a therapeutic relationship that utilizes your inner wisdom and my clinical knowledge to achieve your desired goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am confident in peoples internal wisdom and ability to move towards health. I think that all people are capable of significant growth and change when they are safe and have a strong supportive community that helps them process and understand their own experience. I believe that therapists can be an integral part of building and maintaining this connection to others and self. I strive to be as affirming and culturally competent as I am able while also acknowledging that I am a work in progress. I also love all animals. Currently my favorite animal escapes are mushy faced dogs and videos of unlikely animal friends.
