About
I'm a licensed MFT. My ultimate goal in my therapy work is to help my clients believe in themselves as much as I believe in them. I work with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and countless life issues. While I am deeply humanistic, I also frequently employ elements from CBT to challenge clients' negative self-talk and DBT to help them navigate big feelings. My work is informed by Object Relations theory, in which the therapist provides the client with empathy and attunement. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR, which is an invaluable tool for clients struggling with trauma. What you can expect from your first session with me is relief and hope. On a more practical level, we will discuss what you would like to accomplish and how we're going to accomplish it. I tailor my approach to what my client says they want to work on. If it's trauma, I'll share information on EMDR to help you decide if you'd like to try it.
