Welcome to my profile! Therapy is something that can help you with a specific, pressing challenge, as well as gaining more insight into your wants and needs. I will provide a supportive, encouraging environment for you to explore and come to understand anything in your life that you find significant or confusing. By getting a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior, we will work together to help you create the kind of life that you want.
I value the therapeutic relationship as one of our most valuable tools for healing and change. I provide a holistic approach to therapy as a result of my studies of both traditional and non traditional forms of healing. I believe that a "one size fits all" approach to solving problems and moving forward in life is usually not the answer and that being open minded to solutions to problems will help us provide a strong foundation to move towards the right direction.
I come from an acceptance and commitment therapy viewpoint which allows us to embrace who we are while simultaneously seeking change. Usually therapy sessions will utilize a wide variety of approaches including cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, psychodynamic, and neurobiological. In my free time, you can find probably find me at a yoga class, cooking in my kitchen, or playing with my cats and chinchilla. I look forward to working with you!
