Often clients are stuck in similar patterns that replay over and over again, despite the desire for change. We will address the wounds, traumas, or disconnections that have created these patterns, creating a chance for legitimate, long term change.

My approach to therapy is gentle and compassion driven. Trauma based therapy requires trust and safety to address the sensitive topics ahead. Likewise, couples or marital therapy must focus on empathy, listening, and learning in order to grow.
Try on old patterns like clothes in a closet to see if they still fit. This is a practice space, a place of creation and brainstorming new ways of being who you want to be. Let yourself say the things that you've needed to hear yourself say.

We'll examine the stories that you tell yourself that hold you back and keep you stuck. We'll learn to manage feelings and how we judge ourselves for them. We'll shift perspective on the values that we subscribe to and develop new skills to cope.
Depending on the reason for meeting, we'll work on thoughts or behaviors that get in your way. Develop skills to move forward. Ways to let go of the things of the past that are haunting you. And keep the courage to take the next step.

Typically, I'm gently direct with people. I'll give you the truth, challenge they way you are thinking of things and work with you to develop the skills or adjustments you need so you can make the changes that you seek in your life.
Discuss the issues that brought you into therapy and the changes you would like to see in your life and the best ways to reach those goals. We will work at a pace that is comfortable for you and sometimes I will simply be a listening ear.

I am very eclectic implementing a mix of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and positive psychology techniques, I believe one approach does not work with all. I tailor-make treatment to meet the needs of each individual client or couple.

It is rooted in connection and collaboration with my clients. I use an attachment-focused, trauma-informed lens to support you in understanding your experiences and fostering belief in yourself. Expect some humor and laughter as well!
