I am a psychotherapist specializing in life transitions, trauma, and gender and sexuality concerns. I also have extensive experience treating mood and anxiety disorders. I utilize a range of approaches like CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy depending on each client's needs and preferences. I am also trained in EMDR.
At some points we might feel stuck or unfulfilled in life, but not know exactly what needs to change. I approach my clients with curiosity and sensitivity so I can clearly understand what they need from our work. That process might look organic and exploratory, focused and structured, or something in between depending on what style each client gravitates towards.
In a first session I typically try to get a snapshot of who a client is and what their goals are for therapy. I also like to give time and space for the client to get to know me as a person and build a sense of connection and safety.
