I'm a therapist who believes you shouldn't have to explain or defend who you are before the real work can start. My clients come to me carrying all kinds of things: trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, the weight of a chronic illness, the exhaustion of new parenthood, questions about identity or sexuality. Whatever you bring, you'll be met with warmth and without judgment.
I'm direct and collaborative. I'll ask real questions, offer honest reflections, and help you see the patterns that are keeping you stuck.
My primary tools are EMDR for processing trauma, CBT for shifting the thoughts and behaviors that keep pain in place, and play therapy for younger clients who express themselves more naturally through play than conversation. I don't apply one method to everyone. We'll figure out together what actually helps you, and I'll adjust as we go.
I'll ask what brought you here and what you're hoping will feel different. You set the pace, and you don't have to share more than you're ready to share.
