Great to meet you!

We all have fundamental needs: To belong, to feel understood, to give and receive love, to feel financially secure, to be free from pain. My approach to therapy begins with addressing the impetus that led to scheduling that first appointment, to then addressing core basic needs like sleep, nutrition and social connections. We will work to develop an awareness into emotional states and behaviors that arise out of them. Sometimes, it is the actions of others that are the primary source of our own distress. Even then, we can focus on what is in our control to improve our coping and circumstances.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize approaches from ACT, DBT, Meaning Centered Psychotherapy and Behavioral Activation.

Mostly, I want to hear your story and be a reflective listener.

What you can expect from our first session

It is important to note that we may not cover every concern in our first session together - and that an intake session can travel over as many as the first 3-5 sessions. I will invite you to give a brief overview of your story, present challenges and any recent events in your life that led you to schedule a therapy session, relationships of importance, and any history of mental healthcare you have received that would be helpful for me to know to better understand where you are coming from.
