I draw on many different theories in my work as a counselor: attachment theory, mindfulness and meditation, psychodynamic theory, stages of change model, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and CBT. I will tailor our work together to your needs.
I understand that mental health is not just about neurochemistry. In our sessions, I will take the time to truly understand you, your history, lifestyle, and symptoms. Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan that suits you best.

I focus on finding and addressing the underlying cause of your mental health problems instead of just treating the symptoms. I believe in digging deeper and analyzing your blood work to understand what's really going on. Once we identify the root cause, we can work together to improve and enhance the areas of your life that you want to develop.

The most important thing to know about me is that I listen attentively and ask questions to fully understand each of my client's unique situations. Once I fully understand my client's needs, I tailor my approaches to meet their individual needs.
We will discuss how ages 1-18 shaped your life in effort to figure out how you got to where you are. We will examine traumas and hurts that are still affecting you today. We will process feelings, build coping skills, and I will educate you.

I use a mostly psychodynamic approach while incorporating other helpful techniques. All this means is I believe that the past influences how we behave and think today. I help clients examine old thoughts and behaviors to help create new ones.
Together, we will explore patterns in your relationships, and work to establish relationships that are healthy, and meaningful. We will also explore unhealthy patterns keeping you stuck, and work to heal and resolve these issues.

My approach is highly relational. When working with me you can expect to feel nurtured, validated, and heard. Deeply rooted patterns of behavior may also emerge. At this time I collaborate with you to develop coping resources, and healthy boundaries.
