Finding the optimal therapeutic fit is a bit like going on a blind date… you hope for the best and prepare for the worst. People who think I’m a fit are often high-achieving individuals with an acute awareness of their problem(s) or symptom(s), have tried all the solutions they can think of, and are giving therapy “one last chance.” I successfully get clients “unstuck” by challenging them in new, surprising, and unconventional ways. I intentionally push people 20% past where they are comfortable (because that’s where the growth happens!) and ensure they have the skills to navigate, manage, and address to discomfort long-term.
My style is transparent, funny, collaborative, and experiential. My orientation borrows from Motivational Interviewing, Somatic-Experiential, and IFS. These modalities help me to understand you, your unique situation, and what’s actually helpful. From there, I assist as an: accountabilibuddy, awkward situation specialist, and demystifier of dysfunction.
I decided to become a therapist because I was so disappointed in my own therapy. Providers explained away things that shouldn’t have been, and I wasn’t viewed holistically. I felt overlooked, ignored, and hopeless. I work hard to ensure my clients never experience that. That’s why I offer a free consultation call to ensure I’m really what you’re looking for.
