Over the years, my approach has been described as compassionate, curious, kind, genuine, patient, and safe. We all tend to acquire unhelpful patterns in how we think, feel, and act. This is true for all ages and stages in life, and you are not alone. Often, these unhelpful patterns develop instinctively as we try to make sense of our experiences and as we seek safety during times of stress, imbalance, chaos, and disconnect. The goal of therapy is not to fix you but rather to provide a safe space for you to explore these unhelpful coping skills while supporting you to make meaningful shifts to manage your own internal and external experiences. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I individualize every therapeutic relationship and generally blend a mix of the following evidence-based approaches in which I have extensive training: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gottman Method for Couples, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). 

My intention is to validate and normalize your neurodiverse experiences in a world that, more often than not, doesn’t truly get it. In our time together, we will explore how you can better attune to your own needs and relationships. We will get curious about how you can live more authentically without masking, while regulating your nervous system, and cultivating emotional safety within yourself and with your loved ones.  We will safely work together to heal your traumas. Your story matters here, and it would be my privilege to hold space for it. My promise to you is to show up fully in our sessions together while honoring your own individual needs.
