My approach to therapy is one based in collaboration with you to fit your unique situation and preferences. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, which is a fancy way of saying I don’t follow one “type” of therapeutic method but instead pull from a variety, based on your circumstances. In my experience working in a variety of community mental health settings, I’ve found that an approach to therapy that is casual, less rigid, and more based in human-to-human connection is most effective.

I firmly believe that you know yourself better than anyone else. While I will challenge you to heal by exploring some uncomfortable feelings to understand their underlying purpose (because all emotions serve a purpose — even the tough ones!), I will never push you to address things you are genuinely not ready to.
