I offer primarily early morning & evening appointments with some limited weekend availability.

My Approach:

Clients typically describe me as warm, direct, engaging and helpful. The most important things that I can offer to you are the ability to listen well and ask skillful questions in order to support living a life that is meaningful, even in the midst of great difficulty. As we engage in the therapeutic process, I will guide you in better understanding your story as it is unfolding; gently nudging you toward authenticity and alignment with your values.

Therapeutic approaches that I draw from include:

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), an attachment-based approach which focuses on coping with life transitions, addressing conflict and working through grief and loss

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), a short-term, goal-focused therapy focusing on constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach focused on learning how to identify and change thought patterns that have a negative influence on behavior and emotions.

Motivational Interviewing (MI),  a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication that is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by exploring the person’s reason for change with acceptance and compassion.

Mindfulness-based approaches, focused on highly accessible tooIs to help you be more present in your daily life.

I enjoy working with people from a variety of backgrounds and identities and strive to foster a sense of inclusion and equity in my work. I continually seek opportunities to learn and grow in my understanding of how to dismantle systems of oppression starting with my own conscious and unconscious values, beliefs and biases. I am an LGBTQ+ embracing provider.
