My approach to therapy is person-centered, trauma-informed, and psychodynamic. My aim is to provide a safe, emotionally supportive, and reflective conversational environment, in which my clients are encouraged to examine patterns of thoughts and behavior, explore complex emotions with a person they can trust, and ultimately free themselves from unwanted experiences to become more effective in life. We may engage in more targeted or specific methods of doing therapy if appropriate or necessary. I believe that, sometimes, it is therapeutic enough simply to be seen, heard, and known.

I apply my experience in mental health counseling and my knowledge of the psychological-behavioral sciences to assess my clients needs and collaboratively develop an approach to therapy that is unique to them. I’ve covered a range of concerns with clients in the past, and have found that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to psychotherapy and healing. I maintain a commitment to curiosity, sensitivity, and willingness to learn when it comes to understanding and serving the clients I work with.

Some of my clinical interests include — anxiety and depression; mood swings and bipolar disorder symptoms; PTSD/CPTSD recovery and support; stress/anger management; OCD symptoms and phobias; grief and loss; family conflict; career/educational goals, relationships (including open relationships/polyamory) and attachment/intimacy counseling; LGBTQ+ support; ADHD and related coping skills; chronic pain and palliative care; identity and existential crisis; psychotic experience(s) and related disorders; spiritual/religious/cult abuse; veteran’s health; men’s mental health and wellness; general support for transitions in life.

If you do not see yourself reflected in my clinical interests, that does not mean we cannot work together! Please allow me to hear from you what your goals and concerns are, and we will decide together whether or not we are a good fit for your therapy.
