Welcome to My Practice!

I approach therapy with the understanding that many of our symptoms and struggles are normal human attempts to manage pain, loss, anxiety, and difficult, overwhelming, or traumatic experiences. My style is authentic, compassionate, collaborative, and goal-oriented. By collaborating together, we will address therapy goals using interventions that are both effective and tailored to your personal history, identity and values. At the end of the day, my hope is that our work together will allow you to claim or reclaim a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling to you. â€‹

 

My role as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space so we can explore your concerns, and then learn and apply strategies that work for you. This approach, based heavily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), is in the service of transforming your relationship with symptoms and struggles so you feel able to respond to your world (internal and external) with intention and flexibility. I also utilize Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to help treat PTSD and heal from trauma.

 

I believe that therapy is most effective when you commit to tangible behavior changes in addition to exploring the concerns bringing you to therapy via talk therapy. I strive to provide a safe inclusive space for us to talk openly and authentically so you feel supported as you make meaningful life changes.

​

As a PsyPact participating provider, I am able to see clients in any of the 40 PsyPact participating states virtually on a secure, HIPAA-complaint video conferencing platform.
