Together, we bring both to the table — and that's where real change begins.

How I Align Therapeutically
How I Show Up for You
The foundation of this work is the unwavering belief that the person sitting across from me carries inherent worth — not contingent on their productivity, their progress in therapy, or their ability to meet any standard. Unconditional positive regard is not a technique I apply at the start of session. It is the ground I stand on, and it does not move.
For clients whose nervous systems learned early on that love, safety, and acceptance were conditional on performance, the consistent experience of being fully received without condition is not the backdrop to treatment — it is often the most powerful intervention in the room.
You are the expert on your own life — I am here to help you navigate it. I bring the training, the tools, and the research-backed knowledge of what creates real, lasting change. But you decide what we work on, how fast we go, and what actually matters. If something I suggest does not feel right, that is not a problem — that is important information, and I want to hear it.
This isn't me guiding you toward answers I already have. This is us figuring out together what's true for you.
Modalities
The modalities I use most frequently include EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also incorporate somatic concepts and practices throughout the work. Each is chosen intentionally — not applied by default.
Gives you a map of your patterns and a structure for change — so you can see what is happening and begin to shift it.
Gives the nervous system enough safety to actually use that map — working at the level of the body, not just the mind.
Builds a relationship with your inner experience that makes sustained action possible — even when thoughts and feelings remain difficult.
Goes beneath the map entirely — processing the memory networks where old patterns were first encoded, so present-day triggers stop carrying the full weight of everything that came before.
What Therapy Leads To
Most people come in wanting relief — and that is a completely reasonable place to start. The research is clear: the first several sessions genuinely do reduce symptoms. Anxiety becomes more manageable. The weight of depression lifts enough to breathe. You start to feel like yourself again — or maybe for the first time in a long time.
Relief is not the consolation prize. It is part of the process — and it comes early.
What builds over time is something deeper. Patterns that have run your life quietly for years begin to lose their grip. You start to understand not just what you feel, but why — and that understanding changes everything.
Clients who do this work report more capacity to stay regulated under pressure, clearer boundaries that do not require constant justification, and a relationship with themselves that is less driven by fear and more grounded in clarity. They feel empowered, equipped, and evolved — at peace with who they are and how they move through the world.
Are We a Match?
The fit between client and therapist is the foundation of effective work — and it matters deeply to me that you feel it. During your consultation, I encourage you to come with questions. You deserve to know exactly who is walking with you on this journey. Honesty and transparency are two of my core values, and that starts from the very first conversation.
You do not need to have it figured out before you call. You do not need to know exactly what you want to work on, or how to explain what you are carrying. You just need to be willing to show up — for yourself. That is the only requirement, and it is enough.
If we discover we are not the right fit, I will help connect you with someone who is. Your progress matters more than my roster.
What Is My Process?
Getting to Know You
Our first few sessions are about understanding the full picture — what's been happening, what you've already tried, and what matters most to you right now.
Building Your Plan
From there, we build a plan that is actually yours. You will receive psychoeducation about what's showing up for you and why — so nothing feels like a mystery.
Doing the Work
Over time, most clients notice more language for what they are feeling, stronger nervous system regulation, and a clearer sense of themselves. Your input shapes everything — we check in regularly about what's working and what needs to shift.
A Healthy Ending
When you reach your goals, we will talk together about what a healthy ending looks like. The finish line matters as much as the starting line.
Clinical Areas of Expertise
If you do not see your concern listed above, reach out anyway. These categories reflect where I work most frequently — not the full scope of what I address in session.
You Don't Have to
Figure This Out Alone.
