Most of the people I work with are adults whose anxiety, depression, and developmental trauma have become barriers in their everyday lives and identities. Many of them have worked hard to appear as if they have it all together, but the fear of failure or being “found out” stalls the deep connection they desire with themselves and others.

I often find that what my clients believe are innate flaws in their character are actually intelligent coping responses that were once protective but are no longer helpful in the context of their current lives. Much of the work I do starts with strengthening the curiosity it takes to recognize those patterns, honor where they came from, challenge them, and develop skills to navigate life experiences in a more meaningful way. 

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Every person I see comes with their own story and I use an integrative approach to honor the needs of your unique experience. Some of the modalities I weave into our work include accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), internal family systems (IFS), attachment theory, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), narrative techniques, and mindfulness.

That said, I believe the most impactful factors of healing are connection and collaboration. You are the expert of you. And it is that insight combined with our therapeutic work where life shifts begin.
