What therapy with me actually looks like
My approach to therapy is honest, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe that meaningful change comes from understanding yourself while also taking positive steps toward building a life that feels rewarding.
I particularly enjoy working with young adults and individuals navigating substance use disorders, addiction, and recovery. I also connect well with people who are curious, analytical, and interested in exploring the patterns that influence their behaviors.
I don't believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. Every person brings their own experiences, challenges, and goals into the room, and I tailor our work to meet those individual needs.
My sessions are conversational and can combine practical strategies with deeper self-reflection. I draw from approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and other therapeutic techniques to help you build insight and move toward meaningful change.
Through my clinical experience working in addiction and mental health settings, as well as my own lived experience with long-term recovery, I understand that change is rarely a straight line.
My goal is to help you feel supported while also encouraging you to take ownership of your growth and create a life that feels purposeful and fulfilling.
