The care and support that allows each person to grow and thrive is unique. Whether you're hoping to reduce the impact of life’s stressors, heal from traumatic experiences, improve your sense of self-worth, or explore your relationship with drugs and alcohol, our work together will recognize your individuality and be driven by your goals. I focus on building a relationship in which you feel you are treated with respect, understanding, and compassion, where you can experience a sense of safety in sharing about sensitive parts of your life. I also support folks struggling with anxiety and grief related to climate change. I offer individual psychotherapy for adults that draws on a variety of effective approaches to support your healing and growth, including mindfulness, trauma-informed and strength-based techniques such as EMDR, examining family dynamics and relationships, and helping you understand the role of neurobiology in your resilience and challenges. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative--it's important to me that you feel like you're connecting with a real person. I'll incorporate building knowledge and coping skills with reflective self-examination. We’ll start by exploring the areas of your life you’d like to work on, go at your pace, and adjust as necessary along the way.
