I work with adults seeking help for a variety of reasons.  Often, they are feeling overwhelmed or alone within major life transitions or grief experiences.  Some, for other reasons, struggle with distressing thoughts or moods.  Many seek therapy out of frustration with a rinse and repeat cycle in old patterns of behavior — including how they show up in important relationships. 

As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe that many (though not all) of what have traditionally been labeled symptoms or disorders are actually strategies for coping with hard, sometimes terrible, things.  When considered within the context of all that has happened to a person, these ways of coping make perfect sense and deserve our understanding and compassion.  This non-pathologizing stance allows us to connect with our innate capacity for healing.  From this place, we can begin to make new choices based upon current circumstances and chosen values (rather than feeling trapped in the past).

I know my clients to be resilient, resourceful and creative, and my approach to therapy is collaborative and relational.  Together, we would draw from the wisdom of your lived experience and my training in a range of psychotherapy models to tailor therapy to your particular needs and preferences. Some clients want tools and strategies and a more direct approach, others an opportunity to process their experience aloud to gain clarity and self-understanding, and many wish to engage in parts work to move towards healing deeper trauma wounds.  I will be curious to learn about what has/hasn’t worked for you in the past (if you have been in therapy before) and what you think might work best for you now, and I will be honest with you about how my practice might align.  Below is a list of the modalities I draw from most frequently.
