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, meaning I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. I'm trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is particularly effective for trauma, addiction, and shame-based patterns. I also incorporate attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing into my work.
I work with adults dealing with substance use disorders, chemsex and sexual compulsivity, 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 often the issue isn't willpower or effort; it's that the underlying emotional patterns haven't been addressed.
My approach is direct, warm, and non-judgmental. I believe that meaningful change happens when we 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
I integrate approaches like EMDR, attachment-focused therapy, and behavioral work—but more importantly, I tailor therapy to you.
I provide therapy that is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate methods such as EMDR, cognitive therapy, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, and recovery-informed work.
I work with clients navigating gender identity, sexuality, relationship structures, and the impact of stigma or marginalization—alongside concerns such as addiction, trauma, and relational distress. This work is integrated, not separate; identity and lived experience are understood as part of the broader clinical picture. Whether you’re exploring identity, healing from past experiences, or working to build healthier relationships, therapy provides a space to do that work without judgment. The focus is not just on affirmation, but on depth—helping you understand patterns, reduce shame, and move toward a more integrated and sustainable way of living.
