Welcome! In viewing this profile, I give you the first of many permissions to slow down and simply exist in your essence. Many times our lives feel so fast paced that it may seem we are running, always “on go”, never giving ourselves permission to pause and reflect. As a therapist, I find great privilege in creating a safe, affirming space, where you have this permission to slow down and work on yourself. What this means is very unique to your individual lived experience. Sometimes this will mean building the skills to change maladaptive thoughts patterns and behaviors, sometimes it will mean to understand and contextualize your past and how it is affecting you now, sometimes it will mean idealizing and planning for your future, or it may be a specific combination of many aspects of all of the above. 

In describing the therapeutic process, I like to use the metaphor of climbing a mountain. Whether you’re climbing a mountain or starting therapy, the first few steps of the process can feel daunting and overwhelming. Our work is a partnership where I will provide the coaching, encouragement and tools needed for success. Periodically, I will encourage you to look back and notice how far you have come (like looking at a vista on the way to the summit) while also highlighting how much closer you are to your goals (the summit is getting closer!)

My approach is at the intersection of humanistic/relational and change/acceptance based approaches. I have specific training in ACT, CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness and experiential therapies. I look forward to sharing more about this as we continue on your journey.
