My Approach to Helping
YOU are the expert on your own life and experiences, so I believe that the therapeutic relationship should be collaborative. The best way to reach your goals is by working together! I strive to be supportive and empathetic while helping you learn actual techniques and skills to move your life in a new direction. I am experienced in helping people with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harming behaviors, and trauma in both residential and outpatient settings.
I enjoy working with pre-teens, adolescents, and adults. I combine narrative therapy with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and have completed training in EMDR. These approaches have been shown through research to be effective for a broad range of issues. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming care and also believe strongly in the values of Health at Every Size (HAES).
I want to help you find the best path for yourself, whether that means working on coping skills, processing lived experiences, or finding meaning during life’s many transitions. I am compassionate and creative in my work, and I am inspired by my clients' courage and determination to make changes in their lives. Contact me to get started!
