Therapy style

My goal as a therapist is to support the people I work with in gaining greater insight into unhelpful patterns, develop and strengthen their coping skills, resolve trauma, and strengthen positive beliefs around their life purpose. My therapeutic style is highly collaborative, trauma-informed, and person centered. I employ a psychodynamic lens and utilize primarily Narrative therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques.

Approaches

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Harm Reduction
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Psychodynamic
  • Relational
  • Solution-focused
  • Strengths-based

Interests

Outside of work I enjoy getting outdoors as much as possible, whether that means going on a hike with my dog Georgie or hanging at the beach.
