About My Clients
I work with individual adults who are looking to shift patterns in their lives. We typically focus on understanding what their problems are trying to communicate and work towards better ways of honoring those needs. Most folks that find me are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD or unwanted relationship issues but I have training across a variety of diagnosis.
My Background and Approach
I take a client focused approach, trusting that the people I work with have the ultimate say in their experience and know what they need to health (even if it's outside of awareness or language). The modalities that guide my work are Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory and Object Relations. I am also an EMDR trained therapist and find it incredibly helpful to use when people are looking for ways to reduce distress so they can get at what lies beyond overwhelming experiences.
Why I Became a Therapist
As I worked over a decade as a photographer, I didn’t realize I was training to become a therapist. That time was about paying careful attention to the interplay of light and the particularities of my subjects. I learned that the act of being seen is one of the most essential human experiences. I needed a way to push deeper into these themes, and therapy provides that. I sought a training environment that honors the mystery, complexity and integrative qualities of people. I hold a masters in the art of counseling psychology, and that art continues to evolve with careful attention and a sustained sense of curiosity.
