I read my books backwards.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, which is therapist speak for you being the expert of your own life, and in control of where we go together, and me being the guide through the middle earth of childhood trauma (or whatever you want to unpack).

I’m laid-back and kind in my approach, and never want to leave my clients feeling stuck or unsupported. I’m comfortable being direct when necessary, and I’m willing to sit with difficult emotions, uncertainty, and discomfort rather than rushing toward quick answers. I’m upfront with what I know and what I don’t know, and I’m highly supportive, especially when navigating extra hard stuff like shame and fear of change.

I believe the most important thing in therapy is to know yourself, and face yourself. The more truth you’re willing to face about where you’re at right now, what can/cannot be changed, and how you may contribute to your own suffering (as we all do), the more we can work together to get you where you need to be. I may have the training and the fancy letters after my name, but I have never been you. You are the expert on who you are. I’m here to accept you as you are right now, and help you realize that you are worthwhile now, then help guide you towards the goals that you set in therapy. I’m all about acceptance first and foremost, clean and messy parts included. Let’s get comfortable in the uncomfortable together.
