Great to meet you!

Accepting New Clients! Welcome to my practice. Often times, our childhood experiences shape us as human beings by creating patterns that may get in the way. I specialize in helping individuals process these events as well as learning to navigate anxiety, neurodivergence, trauma and life transitions as well as helping couples through challenges with communication, sex and infidelity as well as improving conflict management. I've received training for ways to include Buddhism, the outdoors and Dungeons and Dragons to improve mental health treatment as well. It would be an honor to work with you and get you closer to the life you want!

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is to bring my clinical training and education to reflect patterns and themes in your life that are holding you back. You have expert knowledge in your experience and I can help you frame those experiences different and learn new skills to free up your energy for moving towards the goals you have. I am often curious, explorative, and directive with regards to moving in directions you want to go.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is directed at gathering information. Medical health and mental health histories are a helpful foundation to address as well as family of origin dynamics, work and education history then your own strengths and specific goals. This helps set the stage for the sessions to follow, and these topics often come up later in the process anyway so it saves us time to address them initially then along the way as needed.
