My Approach to Helping
I enjoy working holistically with individuals, from teens to older adults, as well as couples/relationships to enhance communication skills and deepen connections. I utilize mindfulness, attachment, and self-compassionate approaches as well as creative interventions, such as art and horticultural therapies, and offer psychedelic integration psychotherapy. I'm an EMDRIA-approved (EMDR International Association) eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapist and also have advanced training in exposure and response prevention therapy, which I most often use in conjunction with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to treat obsessive compulsion (OCD) and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, I am a gender specialist with advanced training through the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).
Therapy is a collaborative process, and I look forward to working with you toward increased self-awareness, new perspectives, decreased negative symptoms, and an appreciation of the strengths you already possess! In a warm, nonjudgmental space, I am committed to helping you build on those strengths, achieve your goals, and build a truly fulfilling life.
