My Therapeutic Approach

By integrating evidence-based therapy interventions with a client-centered approach, I use my skills and knowledge in combination with your stated needs and preferences to create a therapeutic environment tailored just for you.

Therapy with me is nonjudgmental and genuine; crying, laughing, and swearing are all equally welcome in our therapy space. I bring my authentic self to the relationship and that is my hope for you, too. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally, neurodivergent-affirming, and work in a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed manner. I want clients to feel understood and safe, allowing you to step out of your comfort zone to embrace growth and change.

Our appointments together will be growth-oriented, skills-focused, and collaborative. I will likely ask you to complete assignments outside of our sessions to practice using the interventions that we discuss. After all, most of life happens outside of our therapy space!

I view therapy as a partnership. We will work together to identify, celebrate, and grow your innate strengths while learning new strategies to feel confident overcoming challenges. I believe therapy doesn’t need to last forever; my aim is to help you reach your goals and teach you the coping strategies to start living the life you want.

When I’m not working, I enjoy making pottery, caring for my indoor plant jungle, visiting National Parks, and spending time with family.  I also have two cats who occasionally join my sessions and would love to meet you!
