About My Clients
New clients often describe feeling stuck, lost, freaked out, furious, and sad. Some can tell me exactly what caused the problem, others are completely bewildered. Whether you're preparing for a big change or coping with something unexpected, I show up without judgment or expectation.
My Background and Approach
In my practice, I use traditional frameworks like CBT along with Internal Family Systems, Jungian, and somatic-based therapies. As each client feels comfortable, I introduce artistic processes to expand on and deepen the therapeutic experience. From drawing and painting to clay, collage, and photography, we explore modalities that connect to your needs and interests. The most important thing to remember is that talent is completely irrelevant here. There are no grades and no rejection letters in the mail—just opportunities to try something, feel something, and learn about yourself.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am mindful of how I present myself in "about me" sections because in a therapeutic relationship, it's *not* about me. My values and personality play an important role, but part of my job is to make sure that those things never eclipse your needs. So here's what I can say without doubt or discretion: I am endlessly curious. I was the kid who asked "why" too much. I still am, but I've learned more interesting ways to form the question. I practice with grace and good humor, and offer genuine respect for all genders, sexualities, races, ethnicities, and religions. I do tend to swear a lot and even though it's something I'm "working on" I'll be honest with you: it's low on the list of priorities.
