Great to meet you!

Many people delay starting or resuming therapy for realistic worries they will get stuck in an endless loop of talking about their problems without seeing any real progress or change. I work to help you avoid repeating that process during our time together. I don't focus on venting; I strive to protect your time and instead move our focus into active strategy-labs to help you find or regain your traction in moving toward the life you want.

I combine Motivational Enhancement, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as I treat every session as a standalone opportunity to focus in on exactly where things are getting stuck and to help you unhook and move in accordance with what matters most to you. This high-velocity and efficient approach helps a large portion of people within 8 sessions.

Operating virtually across 7 states, my goal is to optimize your time, finances, and energy by being a good steward of the resources you are investing in therapy. I utilize Headway to seamlessly work with major insurance plans so you can access high quality and effective care with real-time co-pay transparency.

My approach to therapy

I treat our sessions as collaborative, active workspaces. I treat each session as a standalone opportunity to check in on progress week to week, pivot from usual loops or traps you find yourself in, and practice concrete experiential skills in the moment. My hope is that you leave each session with a tangle, values-aligned experiment you can run in your daily life - giving you something tangible to take with you and support you ongoing, not just during our time together.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will start our collaborative work on the roadmap as we get to work on identifying what is getting in the way of your life, career, or wellness. We will map out the current landscape, target what may be holding you back, and uncover your unique strengths and resiliencies to give actionable next steps. The goals is for you to leave the first session with a clear sense of your baseline well-being and strengths and a sense of an initial pivot point for your next steps in life outside of therapy.
