About My Clients

You sense that a painful experience from your past is affecting your present life. You recognize that you're caught in a cycle, but finding a way out seems impossible. Typically, you're the kind of person who can navigate through any challenge, so it's incredibly frustrating that this time feels different. Whether you decide that I am the right therapist for you or someone else, I applaud your courageous decision to seek change in your life. Therapy will be difficult but nothing of value is easy

My Background and Approach

My approach includes aspects of CBT, DBT, IFS & EMDR, mindfulness and meditation, cultivating self-compassion, and the therapeutic use of humor, empathy and human connection. We'll work to get your stable and able to do the work you need to do to leave the past in the past.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

LGBTQ+ Affirming. Women's rights are human rights. Black lives matter. It's not up for debate. Justice, respect, humanity. No questions, just action. Abundance Mindset. Lead with kindness and it will come back around to you. I am committed to my clients well-being and progress, even during challenging times. Safety is paramount and non-negotiable in all therapy work, especially trauma. We will build safety in your body, mind and environment before we step into anything remotely intense or deep work. The real hero of the Harry Potter series is Neville Longbottom. I will not be taking questions at this time.
