I believe therapy begins with being able to show up exactly as you are.
Sometimes we come to therapy because something has happened that we never expected. A person we love has died. A relationship has ended. Life has changed in ways we didn't choose. We may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply trying to understand who we are and where we go from here.
And sometimes, we don't have a clear explanation at all. We just know that something isn't working anymore.
My role as a therapist isn't to tell you how you should feel or give you a formula for putting your life back together. Instead, I see therapy as a place where we can slow things down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and explore what comes next—together.
My approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practice.
Evidence-Informed Care
I draw from approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and other evidence-informed practices.
Person-Centered
You are not a diagnosis. Your experiences, relationships, values, strengths, history, and hopes all matter. We won't try to fit you into a particular treatment model.
Collaborative Growth
Together, we'll determine what is most helpful for you—whether that's learning practical skills for emotions, processing past experiences, or finding a way to move forward through uncertainty.
Together, we'll determine what is most helpful for you.
- Learning practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions.
- Processing experiences that continue to affect you.
- Sitting with uncertainty and finding a way to move forward without having all the answers.
Grief, loss, and suicide loss
A particularly important part of my work is supporting people who are navigating grief and loss, including the loss of someone to suicide. Suicide loss can bring a complicated mixture of emotions and questions. Grief may exist alongside anger, guilt, confusion, relief, love, loneliness, or unanswered questions.
You don't have to make your grief easier for other people to understand.
Therapy can provide a space where you can talk honestly about what happened, what you're experiencing now, and what it means to find a way forward. I don't believe that healing means forgetting, moving on, or returning to the person you were before the loss.
Sometimes healing means learning how to carry what happened while gradually making room for life again.
