My approach to therapy

I welcome everyone! I've worked extensively with active and former military, older adults, geeks, gamers, lgbtq+ and theater kids on a variety of issues My areas of focus include: ADHD, depression/anxiety, religious trauma, PTSD, chronic pain and end of life issues. I have three guidelines I go by: Be humble. Be brave. Be kind.

In terms of clinical practice I lean toward a mix of solution focused, motivational interviewing and DBT, and works well in an online setting.

What you can expect from me

Come as you are. I’m here with the comfy floor pillows and an open ear. We can talk. Or not. Music. Or not. Beverage. Or not. Unwind for a bit. I get it. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, come sit awhile, share the fire, and know you're not alone.

We'll explore ways to manage and identify stress and how we hold it in the body, work on identifying values, and using them to move forward in life with purpose. when your head aligns with your heart, amazing things can happen!
