My Therapeutic Style
A Collaborative Approach for Meaningful Growth
Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s more like a bespoke suit tailored to your unique needs (except no measuring tape is involved, I promise). I'm an integrative therapist. I draw from modalities like psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, EMDR, EFCT,TF-CBT and more.
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex-positive and kink-friendly. I’m not an aloof, blank-slate type of therapist. I am kind, but can also be very direct. I can handle your “heavy stuff.” I sometimes pause when I’m speaking to figure out how to best convey my thoughts. I also sometimes curse in session (if you're okay with it). I am a creative thinker and can also, at times, delve into the existential realm in sessions if that’s where the session goes.
Think of me as your partner in discovery: I bring clinical expertise, but you bring the most important thing—your lived experience.
Here’s some of the work we can do together:
- Untangle what’s holding you back and strategize your way forward.
- Build self-compassion and resilience—even when life feels like one long Monday.
- Reconnect with your creative and emotional energy to tackle challenges with clarity and confidence.
We’ll do that work collaboratively in order to make sure you’re getting what you need from therapy. It’s YOUR therapy.
Whether you’re processing trauma, managing anxiety or depression, exploring your sexual/gender identity, navigating relationship dynamics, or struggling to balance your drive for achievement with self-care, I’m here to help with empathy, expertise, and maybe even a dash of humor along the way.
I hope you’re getting a bit of a sense of who I am as a person and a general sense of me as a psychotherapist. Research has shown that the therapeutic relationship has a significant impact on treatment outcomes. Therapy is pretty awesome and transformative when you find the right therapist for you!
If I seem like I might be that therapist, please reach out so we can see if it's a good fit.
Treatment Modalities
There are so many therapeutic treatment modalities - many of which have acronyms - that it can sometimes feel overwhelming.
There are also often modalities that have a lot of "buzz" around them. People hear about a certain type of therapy and want to try it out.
But not every modality is appropriate for every person - as each person is unique. That's when my clinical training and expertise come into play.
