My Approach
Life can be messy sometimes. Therapy should feel safe, challenging, and sometimes even funny or absurd with a dose of the right humor. I create a warm, compassionate space for clients to look at their patterns and painful memories while finding moments to celebrate their joys. I offer a client-centered, systemic approach, and work well with high functioning anxiety, people with perfectionistic patterns and those who live or desire to live counter-culturally. I have a special interest in working with straight allies and LGBTQ+ individuals and their relationships. I draw from a rich background in theater and the arts as well as a prior career as a bodyworker. I am also trained in EMDR, a highly effective modality for treating past trauma, PTSD, and chronic mental health concerns. I provide individual and family therapy as well as couples counseling.
