I believe you are the expert on your own experiences, so I value collaboration, authenticity, open communication, and respect. My trauma-informed approach considers your experiences, relationships, and patterns while balancing compassion with gentle challenges that encourage meaningful change.

I begin by learning about your history, concerns, strengths, relationships, treatment experiences, and goals. Together, we identify priorities and create an individualized plan. I tailor interventions to your needs, preferences, readiness, and goals, regularly checking in and adjusting treatment as needed.

I begin by meeting you where you are and seeking to understand the journey that brought you to my office. Together, we make space to develop goals, recognizing that we may not always know what we want at first, but we often know what we do not want. I draw from a range of approaches based on the presenting concerns and your individual needs, and I often offer homework to help extend the ideas and skills from our sessions into your everyday life.
