My Approach
Therapy isn't about giving advice or telling you what to do. It's about creating the conditions where real change becomes possible, and that requires trust, honesty, and a genuinely collaborative relationship.
My approach is integrative. I draw from a range of evidence-based methods to build a plan that fits you. I'm trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is particularly effective for trauma, addiction, and shame-based patterns, and I bring in attachment-focused work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing as they fit.
I work with adults dealing with substance use, ChemSex, sex and porn addiction, trauma, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, like they've tried everything and nothing is working. What I've found is that the issue often isn't willpower or effort. It's that the underlying emotional patterns haven't been addressed yet.
Meaningful change happens when you feel truly seen and supported, and I bring that belief into every session.
Direct, non-judgmental, and grounded in understanding, not shame.
I’m not here to:
Police your behavior
Force a specific model of recovery
Or pathologize you
Instead, we focus on:
Understanding your patterns
Reducing shame (which often keeps cycles going)
Building real, sustainable change
Whatever tools we use, therapy is tailored to you.
Therapy with me is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based practice, and every part of who you are is welcome in the room.
I work with clients navigating gender identity, sexuality, relationship structures, and the impact of stigma or marginalization, often alongside addiction, trauma, or relationship distress. I don't treat these as separate issues. Your identity and lived experience are part of the whole picture.
Whether you're exploring identity, healing from past experiences, or working to build healthier relationships, I offer a space to do that work without judgment. My focus isn't only on affirmation but on depth: helping you understand your patterns, reduce shame, and move toward a more integrated and sustainable way of living.
