My Therapeutic Approach
I believe that therapy is a relationship between equals, built on mutual respect, collaboration, trust, and a shared commitment to meaningful change. My approach is grounded in evidence-based care, integrating the research, clinical expertise, and each client's unique experiences, values, and goals. I recognize that while I may bring knowledge and expertise in effective treatments, clients are the experts on their own lives. Effective therapy is not something done to someone, but something we work together to achieve. Through a balance of acceptance and change, I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that empowers individuals to build lives worth living.
Who I Help Best
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing significant emotion dysregulation, high-risk behaviors, chronic suicidality, self-harm, and complex clinical presentations, particularly those who may have struggled to make progress in previous treatments.
