My Approach & Philosophy

I see therapy as much more than simply reducing symptoms; it’s about building a life worth living. That’s why I use a mix of evidence-based modalities—EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Gottman Couples Therapy, IFS (Parts Work), TF-CBT, and an attachment-based lens—to help you dive into the deeper parts of your story. Whether you’re wrestling with trauma, depression, compulsive behaviors, or a major life transition, we’ll work together to explore the roots of these challenges and find meaningful ways to move forward.

Why Relationship Matters

Techniques and tools are important, but genuine human connection is at the heart of lasting change. After all, relationships are typically one of the most important parts of life. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you can show up as you are—no pretenses, no judgment. I bring a laid-back demeanor and a sense of humor to our sessions, but I also hold our time together in high regard. I consider it a privilege to be part of your journey, and I’m committed to walking alongside you as a real, engaged person in the room.

What You Can Expect

A Dedicated Partner: I see our work as a shared journey. I’ll be open, genuine, and actively involved as we explore what’s been weighing on you.

Respect for Your Story: Every individual’s background and experiences deserve empathy and validation. My goal is to truly hear you, see you, and help you feel understood.

Focus on Lasting Change: While symptom relief is essential, I want to help you cultivate a full, meaningful life—whatever that looks like for you. Together, we’ll identify personal goals and tailor our work toward achieving them.
