I am a licensed therapist with extensive training in treating anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, queer concerns, and family / couple dynamics. I meet with individuals, couples, and families to explore what matters to them most. I meet with clients usually once a week, live, and encourage discussion of any messaging during that time. I like to say it is similar to sending me a journal entry that we can dive deeper into later. My treatment approach for couples and families is emotion-focused therapy. The modality I practice for individuals is psychodynamic and person-centered.
It can be difficult at first to find a good fit with a therapist. I provide a safe space for you to vent while we get to know each other. When the moment calls for more, we dig a little deeper and look to the root of the issue. I can be gentle. I can be blunt. Simply put, I am here to facilitate insight and new experiences to move you that much closer to the life you want.
