Within my years of experience as a therapist, I have walked alongside individuals as young as children and adolescents to adults and older adults from diverse backgrounds, each with their unique narratives waiting to be expressed. Mental health issues can be deeply rooted in our unconscious, and we often aren’t aware of what role they play in dictating our emotions, thoughts, or behaviors in our everyday lives.
Therapy is not simply managing symptoms, but investigating your life story and making sense of you. For this reason, I invite you, the expert of your life story, in the driver seat, where we can collaboratively explore who you are in an environment free of judgment. I believe in people being experienced, not managed. For this reason, I tend to utilize techniques that allow for open and free processing like: EMDR, IFS, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic, all of which I do with a trauma informed lens, to create a coherent and complete picture of who you are. This will allow us to become most aware of you in all your complexities, and focusing on a path towards healing that feels right for you, without being tied down to any single therapeutic model.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside exploring parks and trails, mountain climbing, running, weight lifting, music and reading. I also enjoy cooking, watching movies, and exploring true crime with my fiance.
