I believe in the power of genuine connection, and always hope to create that with my clients. I have always been passionate about creating open, nonjudgmental communication in my personal and professional life, and strive to create a comfortable space for individuals to experience this in session.
I work best with people who have an idea where they want therapy to take them, but are unsure why they can’t figure out how to do it on their own. The answer may be that thinking your way out of this problem IS the problem. My approach seeks to integrate some thought based modalities, humanistic approaches, and strategies for behavior change. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders including OCD and specific phobias, as well as substance use. I am LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous/non-monogamy affirming, and use a variety of treatment strategies including ERP, I-CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment Based treatment.
I have expertise from years of experience, but I know you are always the best expert on yourself. For this reason, I am seeking insightful clients who are ready to collaborate to find what works best for them together. My focus is often on empowering my clients to understand themselves and make the changes necessary to live their most authentic life.
