My Approach
Therapy that is compassionate, honest and practical
Not a textbook explanation of modalities — a clear sense of what working together actually feels like, and how we move from insight to change.
The Working Principles
How therapy with me unfolds.
Understanding before technique
Therapy is not about deciding who is right and who is wrong. It is about understanding what keeps happening, why it keeps happening, and what each person can begin doing differently.
Evidence-informed, never one-size-fits-all
I tailor clinical approaches to the people in front of me — drawing on cognitive and behavioral strategies, trauma-informed work, solution-focused interventions, motivational interviewing and somatic techniques.
Emotionally safe and genuinely useful
We will work toward insight, but we will also work toward practical change. You should leave sessions with both understanding and direction.
Honest, warm and nonjudgmental
You can be honest about what is happening without feeling shamed or blamed. Directness and compassion are not opposites — in good therapy, they work together.
Clinical Toolkit
Evidence-based approaches, chosen for you.
I am an action-oriented therapist who leads sessions with focus, care and compassion. Depending on your needs, our work may draw on:
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — the interplay of thoughts, mood and behavior.
DBT
Mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
ACT
Acceptance of what can't be changed, aligned with what you value most.
EMDR
Trauma healing without needing to verbally relive painful events.
EFT
Emotionally focused work that deepens connection to self and others.
Gottman Method
Research-backed couples therapy that rebuilds understanding, respect and connection.
ERP
Evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety-driven compulsions.
TRM
Re-regulating the nervous system after trauma, through the body.
Seeking Safety
Coping-first treatment for trauma and substance-use struggles.
Problem Solving Therapy
A structured path from problems to practical action.
"We will work toward insight — but we will also work toward practical change."
