My approach
I help you understand yourself, and make the changes you want
I work from a simple belief: you already know more about yourself than anyone else does. A lot of what therapy offers is the space, and the right questions, to finally hear it. Together we get clear on what's really going on, gently name the blind spots we all carry, and build a steadier lens to see your life through, so you can make the changes you actually want.
I care just as much about helping you feel things as understand them. Real change rarely happens in your head alone. So instead of only talking problems through, I help you move through the hard emotions underneath them, rather than staying stuck in old thinking patterns. That's usually where lasting change begins.
My approach is integrative and whole-person. I care about how you're doing mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, because those parts of us are connected. And I don't believe in one-size-fits-all: depending on what you need, I draw on a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment work, parts work, somatic tools, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. If something isn't working for you, we change it.
My hope is simple: that you leave sessions a little lighter than you came in, and that over time you start trusting yourself again.
I'm also a person of faith, and many of my clients bring theirs into the room freely. If that's part of your life, it's welcome here and can be part of our work together. If it isn't, you’re just as welcome, and your care is exactly the same. This is your space, wherever you're coming from.
