You are more than what brought you here. With 15 years of experience, I work with the strengths you already carry and help you build the tools to quiet what feels overwhelming. I believe every person is doing their best, and therapy's job is to expand what "your best" looks like. I take a person-centered approach: your values, your context, and your pace guide our work together. If you are ready to feel better and get back to what matters, I would love to connect.
I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to build flexibility and values-based action, and Motivational Interviewing to help you get clear on what change means to you. I also bring in Positive Psychology and Brief Dynamic work to build on your strengths and understand the patterns underneath the surface. Sessions are purposeful and collaborative: you will leave with something concrete each time. My approach is intentionally brief. The goal is to get you feeling better and back to the things that
matter, not to stay in therapy indefinitely.
In our first session, we will continue to get to know each other. I will follow your pace in order to collect a history of relevant experiences. However, I know that people often come into treatment with an issue that they need to focus on now. I practice patience in meeting you where you need to be, and acknowledge that the full intake process may take several sessions depending on the current reason for entering treatment.
