I can empathize with the overwhelm that comes with finding a new therapist. Not only can it feel incredibly vulnerable, but it can be difficult to get a sense of who a therapist is through a brief online bio. Hopefully, I can accurately convey what therapy with me could be like. Overall, I strive to create a therapy environment grounded in curiosity, encouragement, transparency, and collaboration. I will take time to understand your unique challenges and hopes, offering honesty and compassion as we explore new ways forward for you.
I am trained in DBT, EMDR, and Gottman Couples Therapy. These guide my therapy interventions which are often focused on learning how to regulate emotions through acceptance or change, expressing these emotions effectively with others, and when needed using deeper emotional processing for stuck emotions, trauma, memories, or beliefs through EMDR.
This world does not offer us a guidebook on how to be human. The process of understanding and accepting ourselves, others, and the world can feel incredibly overwhelming, confusing, inspiring, and perhaps painful at times. My hope is that through therapy this process of being human might feel a little less overwhelming. Feel free to reach out for more info.
