Therapy is an ongoing process of curiosity that takes a willingness to be vulnerable, and this vulnerability is a choice and a strength. In choosing therapy, you are showing your own strength.  I have working experience in trauma, substance abuse, and domestic violence and sexual assault as well as anxiety and life transitions. Therapy is a collaborative experience where I adapt evidence based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, mindfulness and distress tolerance, strength and compassion focused therapeutic techniques, along with supportive listening and even humor at times to the obstacles you might be facing. My clinical knowledge, combined with your expertise on your own experiences and self, creates a relationship where you have the space to intentionally explore yourself and learn to live from a place of authenticity and trust when life has gotten in the way.  

I approach therapy as an ongoing exploration of unknown territory similar to a road trip. You are in the driver seat as the expert of your own experience and I am paying attention to the journey you are on, offering navigational support through therapeutic exercises and exploring the places you choose to stop along the way in collaboration with  you to determine the significance of them and what meaning they hold. You are the one in charge of dictating where we land and where we are going. I will never take control of the wheel or be a backseat driver on your trip.  I may ask questions about why certain patterns, core beliefs, and emotions  are present, inquire about why you are choosing these locations or stops on your voyage, and seek insight from the intersectional context you exist within. Together we can work to interpret these patterns and the meaning behind them.  In my experience, therapy can help you come home to yourself after these long journeys.
