My Practice Philosophy

Deeply Affirming: You never have to explain, defend, or dilute your identity in my office. 

Trauma-Informed: We don't ask "what is wrong with you?" We look at "what happened to you," and how your brain adapted to survive.

Active & Collaborative: Our sessions are dynamic. We will laugh, we will do deep work, and you will walk away with real things to practice between sessions.

How We Work

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A specialized, evidence-based trauma therapy that helps your brain naturally process and "file away" painful, triggering memories so they lose their emotional charge.

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Skills: A highly practical toolkit focused on mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. Perfect for managing intense cravings, anxiety, or relationship stress.

Motivational Interviewing (MI): A conversational approach designed to help you find your intrinsic motivation, resolve ambivalence, and make lasting, tangible changes on your own terms.
