About

Welcome. I believe it is a great privilege and responsibility to accompany someone on their healing journey. My approach to therapy begins with a firm belief in the inherent dignity of the individual. You aren’t damaged, nor do you need to be fixed. All symptoms—negative thinking, addictions, unhealthy coping strategies—develop to help you survive. Habitual ways of being, therefore, need to be seen through a lens of compassion and curiosity. I strive to create an atmosphere of respect and trust in which clients can safely explore their background, relationships, and inner workings of the mind, to help alleviate their suffering. I utilize an eclectic, psychodynamic approach, which may include: Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnosis, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Parts Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. My specialties include complex trauma and adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
