I like to support my patients where they are at presently, but also help prepare them for forward momentum. At times I may stir the pot and "call folks" out as necessary, while also validating their experiences for what they are worth.

Through gentle exploration and skill building, you will be guided to a place of understanding, acceptance, and compassion for where you are in your journey and how you got here. I like to use CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based interventions.
