I believe that every personality trait that comprises our identity can manifest in many different behaviors. Some behaviors can be helpful while others may have been helpful in crisis or extreme stress until they stop being helpful. My goal in therapy is to understand how unhelpful behaviors correspond with personality traits and to help my clients find more helpful behaviors to use instead of the ones that are no longer working for them. I am enthusiastic about being strength's based which means I strive to understand how unhelpful behaviors have been helpful in the past because I understand these behaviors as part of survival instincts. I also believe that our biggest strengths are our biggest weakness and our biggest weaknesses are our biggest strengths. The result of all these beliefs is that my therapeutic rapport is non-judgmental and collaborative. I can tend towards a more reflective rather than directive style and I'm open to incorporating more guidance if needed. I'm experienced in psychodynamic approaches, mindfulness, attachment theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have experience working with children/teens and families with intergenerational trauma and adults with acute mental health conditions requiring higher levels of care than outpatient therapy. Much like a doctor - I've seen it all and there is nothing a patient could say or do that I haven't experienced. If you're looking for someone who can accept you where you're at and help you to make the changes that you want in your life I'm a good choice.
Please Note: I will ask any client reporting passive suicidal ideation and/or self harm to follow a safety plan including regular discussion about their self-destructive thoughts and behaviors. I use evidence based methods to decrease the frequency and severity of self-destructive thoughts and behaviors. If you are reporting thoughts, plan, and intent to harm yourself or others I will work with you to make sure you can get evaluated for your safety.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
