My Approach
You are not a diagnosis, what has happened to you, or a collection of symptoms to be treated. You are a person worthy of empathy, respect, and compassion. You deserve high-quality mental healthcare where you are empowered to take an active role in your treatment. It is my intention to provide you with the safe space you need to explore, process, and heal.
I believe every person has the capacity for growth, change, and healing. My intentions are to understand your experience, honor your journey, and create a safe space for healing and growth.
My style is relational and trauma informed. Much of my work is grounded in attachment theory and exploring how childhood experiences impact the way we connect and form relationships in adulthood. I use an attachment-based perspective in combination with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques.
We will collaborate and together determine what is working well for you and what can be improved in order to live a life of well-being, purpose, and balance. We will work towards decreasing your symptoms while also addressing and healing the root of your suffering.
