About My Clients
Are you struggling with connection and communication? Do you feel like no matter what you do you aren't good enough? Do you devote so much energy to helping others that you rarely leave any space to take care of yourself? Are you struggling in your romantic relationship and questioning if you and your partner are compatible or ready to commit to one another? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, we might be the perfect match!
My Background and Approach
I work best with clients looking for feedback and who enjoy being compassionately challenged. I like to bring humor and radical genuineness into sessions. I am intensively trained in DBT through the Linehan Institute. Additionally, I combine techniques from Motivational Interviewing, CBT and Solution Focused Therapy. I also see couples using the Gottman method and Prepare/Enrich (for pre-marital/pre-commitment counseling), including those engaged in or looking to explore ethical nonmonogamy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I work from a strengths-based perspective. While many of our struggles are not often our fault, they are our responsibility to address. I believe people are generally doing the best they can and can also learn to improve and grow moving forward. I will help you gain agency in your own life and feel as though you can gain control over your challenges. I am LGBTQ+ allied and am able to provide gender affirming surgery evaluations and letters. I utilize an individualized approach tailored to you and your specific needs. I use a conversational approach and provide a warm and empathetic environment. I want you to feel like you are talking to a real person and believe a good therapeutic relationship is vital to success. I want you to leave each session feeling heard, understood and empowered.
