I take an integrative approach toward treating every client not as a collection of symptoms, but as a whole person, each deserving gentle encouragement, appropriate challenges, and healthy doses of good humor.

Talking about sexuality can feel challenging for many of us. I take a sex-positive approach to intimacy, encouraging open and healthy discussions about sexual experiences and desires. I utilize an integrative, holistic, and mindulness based approach, as it is important to have a clear understanding about what is currently important to the client in the present while gently exploring the past. I also assess for tangential topics, such as boundary maintenance, practicing a compassionate relationship with one’s self and partner, healthy and effective communication, and developing mindful practices to inform decisions.

Good therapy works. But often, there are barriers between you and "good therapy"—barriers like finding a therapist that truly fits, the courage it takes to look at your life with honesty, and the effort it takes to grow and change. I'm a Psychologist who works with adults and couples, and I've had the privilege of helping people break through these barriers. I've taught university courses on counseling, worked with a diverse range of clients, and now, as a scientist at a digital health company, I focus on understanding what makes therapy effective. And through it all, one truth remains: good therapy works.

Together, we'll overcome obstacles, using integrative person-centered and psychodynamic approaches to recognize strengths and spark growth.
Life can get pretty intense. We all have those moments when we feel trapped by our emotions, worries, or past struggles. Maybe you have a vision of where you want to be but aren't sure how to get there. Or perhaps you know something needs to change, but the way forward seems murky. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by expectations and ‘should-haves,’ leaving us feeling inadequate and full of self-doubt. These thoughts can really hit our self-esteem, disrupt our sleep, and strain our relationships.

I'm an outside the box thinker, a supporter of the LGBTQ plus community, someone who has a personal investment in your success, and can be the confidential sounding board that is difficult to find.

Life changes and trauma can lead to disconnection from ourselves and others. This disconnection can manifest as anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Through therapy, we can untangle the changes and trauma so we can truly hear ourselves. Our work might include emotional processing and regulation, self-compassion, self-acceptance, and mind-body awareness. At each step, I will check in with you and guide the pacing to fit your needs and goals. (See my website for more information.) Authorized to practice in all PsyPact states via telepsychology.

What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.
How does integrative therapy work?
Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.
How long does integrative therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
How effective is integrative therapy?
There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
