My approach focuses on validating your experience, while also challenging you to approach situations differently than you have in the past. I welcome all emotions, holding them for you when they might feel too overwhelming to handle on your own. Even when your feelings might be uncomfortable, I will do my absolute best to help you to feel safe. I am committed to providing you with individualized treatment, choosing the best course of therapy for your specific needs.
