Congratulations on reaching this point in your therapist search! You want to embark on the path towards a fulfilling and joyful life. Acknowledging the need for assistance in overcoming life's obstacles is no small feat, and I commend your courage in reaching out for help. It is not always easy to recognize the areas in our lives that need improvement. You have chosen to prioritize your well-being and take proactive measures to address the challenges you face.

By taking this important step, you have set yourself on a journey towards healing.
Seeking therapy signifies your commitment to personal growth and your willingness to confront the hurdles that life throws your way.

Therapy doesn’t have to be cloaked in mystery.

In our work together, we will create safety and security together so you can explore the parts of your life that may need some attention and nurturing; your blind spots. I provide services from a trauma informed person-centered approach, believing in the power of the therapeutic relationship to initiate the change process. I believe that when the client-therapist relationship is built on trust and empathy, I can help you develop insight around what you’re bringing to therapy. I use Narrative Therapy as a technique for making meaning of your life story and insight, giving you the agency to tell your story as desired. Through this, you can pinpoint changes that need or want to be made and you can rewrite aspects of your life story to create the narrative that you draw strength from.

I am EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Certified. This is a trauma modality that can help clients reprocess and desensitize traumatic events/memories without spending each session in talk therapy.

If you’re a geek or blerd like me, I can infuse geek culture into our sessions, drawing on fictional characters and arcs, books (including comic books), and movies.

From this point forward, remain open, receptive, and committed to the process. Healing is a gradual process that requires patience and self-compassion. Allow me to help you embrace this journey on your road to becoming your best self.
