Therapy works best when clients feel safe to discuss their feelings and doubts without fear of shaming, or rejection. I work to create an environment of openness, curiosity, and warmth which engenders growth and progress. My typical client is a self-critical, high functioning professional with issues including addiction and substance abuse, anxiety, depression, trauma, family problems, and relationship difficulties. Many clients feel frustrated because they typically think through problems and work harder to progress. However, these problems typically respond to different tactics, which we explore in our sessions. We use your strengths to work towards positive change and start to see your patterns more clearly. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, and harm reduction. I believe that change happens when people draw on their own experiences and cultivate their strengths to learn how to become comfortable with themselves. When we meet we will discuss your goals and what is getting in the way.
