If you’re looking to learn more about artistic collaboration, or you’re here to see my portfolio, all of that is right next door!

Whether you’ve been in therapy before and are looking for the right fit or you’re seeking mental healthcare for the first time, finding a therapist can be a challenging process. If you’re considering reaching out to me, take a look at all that’s below, and I’ll attempt to give you a window into what it might be like to work together.

I had a professor in undergrad (theater major here!) who talked a lot about the importance of communication. Here’s what she told the group of budding directors: On the first day of rehearsal, when all of the actors and designers and crew members are gathered around the table, count the number of people in that room and figure out how to say the same thing in that many different ways. 

I’ve held onto that sentiment as an artist and have applied it to my work as a therapist. Every person I meet – whether they’re a client or a collaborator – has their own way of making meaning, of understanding the world around them and making sense of themselves in it. I do my best to learn how you make meaning and to reflect that back to you.

Here’s what that actually looks like in therapeutic terms.

I work from a toolkit that centers anti-racist, trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ centered practice. I’m drawn to modalities that consider the complexity of the emotional, relational and physiological, focusing on the whole person and the impact of broken systems on the human experience. I’m less drawn to modalities that pathologize, or focus solely on cognition. (If you’re looking for CBT, I’m probably not the right fit for you.) My approach is oriented toward the HAES (Health at Every Size) movement and often centers neurodivergence. I am trained in EMDR and NMT (the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics, which is a modality for understanding and treating developmental trauma based on its impact on the brain – if you’ve read “What Happened to You” or “The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog,” it’s that guy.) I’m a firm believer that growth happens through relationship and in community so will likely encourage you to connect with others as part of your journey, if/when you’re ready. I have exposure to Gestalt, IFS, Humanistic, SFBT, DBT and Narrative therapies, and will often incorporate some of those tools into my practice. 

If you’ve read all of this (thank you!) and you think we might be a fit, please feel free to reach out to me and we can see about a time to connect. If you don’t think this is the place for you, I wish you all the best on your journey, wherever it may take you.
