Through an approachable, engaging style which brings humor, compassion and an unrelenting belief that things can get better, I strive to help clients develop effective patterns of thought and skills in order to achieve greater success and satisfaction in their lives and relationships. As a trauma specialist, I've cultivated a compassion and broad understanding of experiences & biological responses that inform our mental-emotional well-being.
The therapy model from which I primarily work is CBT or eclectic/integrative, incorporating elements of other models, e.g. systems-orientation, play, behavior modification, and positive psychology. I emphasize trouble-shooting strategies, self-compassion, kindness to self & others, natural supports, healthy relationships, gratitude and experiences of happiness.
With the shift to telehealth, rather than coming to my office, I’m now invited into your homes as well as your lives. I strive to create a welcoming supportive therapeutic space in our virtual sessions. I show up as fully human: authentic, imperfect and always comfortable in jeans and sneakers.
