My Approach to Therapy

I meet you as you are and believe in a team approach, we will come up with a plan for the wellness journey you are ready for. Over the course of our time together we will get to know each other and explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. During this work, I will offer up some observations and questions, maybe some irreverence and laughs, and will always meet you with unconditional positive regard. As a yoga instructor, I believe in the body’s intelligence and want to honor that intelligence, we may explore with a bottom up approach to your insight development and wellness plan. 

Stress, anxiety, grief, and “big T” and “little t” trauma show up for us in many, many different ways: depression, isolation, substance use, suicide ideation, self harm, psychosis, impulsiveness, control issues, trouble with family, friends, teachers and coworkers. We can peel back the layers and explore what works and what doesn’t work for you. My approach is collaborative and person centered, and is informed by MI (motivational interviewing), DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic perspectives. The most important piece of this journey is that you are the one navigating, because you are the expert on you and it is time to come home to yourself.
