Great to meet you!

You need to know that the most important work in healing has already begun -- it's hard work looking for someone to join your team, but it's also a big favor you are doing for yourself.

I like to tell people I feel like a general practitioner -- no specific specialty but broad enough to get you to the right referral. That said, for clients who have a hard time negotiating shame, I find IFS encounters very effective. I am also a fan of DBT, currently running a weekly DBT groups.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I remind my people regularly that I work for them-- you will have to figure out what you want, and I will get you the tool you need

What you can expect from our first session

My highest hope is you will find a place of rest for 50 minutes, where you can be your genuine self
