I started my work as a therapist because I believe we are more than the things that happen to us. We can also learn a lot about ourselves based on our past experiences. I hope to help you understand ways your past impacts your present without letting it keep you from seeing what's possible in the future.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach myriad coping strategies while also getting you unstuck from long-held beliefs about yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.
In our first session, I'll get to know more about who you are, what's brought you to therapy, what's going well, and where you'd like to see things look different. We'll talk about all aspects of your life broadly, before honing in on more specific topics. At the end, we'll set goals for our work together. Throughout the session, I'm open to questions you have for me regarding my background, my approach, and if needed why I might be asking certain questions.
