My Approach to Helping

Fundamentally, it's my job to listen well and authentically connect with the person in front of me- to first compassionately hold space for and understand their needs. Working from a Person-Centered/Relational approach allows us to set a collaborative foundation together. I consider the various types of therapy (EMDR, Parts Work, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry, CBT, etc.) as different sets of tools we can then use to build a structure. Which ones we use depends on what you want to build:)

More About the People I Treat

Life can often feel like an obstacle course. A whirlwind of challenges pushing the limits of our most vital resources (time, attention, and energy). If you are feeling the strain, feeling drained from the battle- you are not alone. If you feel like distressing emotions are taking you for a ride, negative self-talk and beliefs are bombarding your self-esteem, persistent worries keep taking you out of the moment, difficulty concentrating and low energy are messing up your motivation, navigating conflict is stealing your thunder, learning to build healthy boundaries and deep connections seems damn-near impossible, I hope we can talk. I offer a principled approach in three fundamental elements. Autonomy & Ownership- your sense of purpose and choice. Competence & Mastery- your tools to generate knowledge, clarity, and skills. Connection- you are not alone. I am your ally, your Agent of Good Will! Take the first step and set up a consultation.
