Therapists » Marriage & Family Therapist
I’m an experienced, active therapist, integrating techniques from models such as Internal Family Systems, EMDR & cognitive-behavioral therapy in my approach to our work. While I’m warm and caring, I’m also direct and focused on the change you seek; in the words one of my teachers, Terry Real, uses to describe his approach, I “avoid being heavy on nurture and short on truth.” I bring diverse professional & life experience, a sensitivity to culture & all other components of your identity, and an array of tools that you can use to find the growth, solutions, well-being, or healing you seek. I'm skilled at working with relationship issues (eg. partner discord & adults with narcissistic parents or partners), trauma & EMDR, anxiety including panic & OCD, depression, losses & life transitions, EQ skills, workplace issues, and many other challenges. I also have specialties in psychedelic integration support and working with clients new to therapy. I know it can be hard to reach out when you’re dealing with an emotionally intense challenge; I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation to see if that feels like a good start to our collaboration.
