My Approach to Therapy

The world is wild, and life doesn't pause while we try to make sense of it. I work with teens, young adults, parents, families, and adults navigating midlife and career transitions. I support people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and major life changes, and welcome neurodivergent people with curiosity about how you experience the world. My approach is depth-oriented and includes EMDR to help process distressing experiences. Clinical assessment and diagnosis inform our work, but your story is bigger than a diagnosis. Our nervous systems respond to relationships, stress, trauma, and the environments we live in. My goal is to build a judgement free, safe, grounded space where we can honestly and curiously explore who you are, who you've been, and who you're becoming. I draw from education, clinical training, science, and lived experience. If you're looking for a specific approach you don't see listed, reach out, I'd be happy to talk. A few paragraphs can’t capture a person, and they certainly can’t tell you what it feels like to sit across from one. If you’re looking for someone who helps you feel seen, challenged, and understood, I’d be delighted to hear from you. Let’s see if we’re the right fit.
