Introduction

Curiosity is at the heart of the talk therapy process. It invites us to approach our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with openness and a willingness to explore rather than judge. An antidote to shame, curiosity allows us to sit with uncertainty, develop unexpected insights, and heal wounded parts of ourselves with loving attention. I help adults from all backgrounds who feel stuck in painful patterns with self-sabotage, drugs and alcohol, damaged relationships, or broken records of negative thoughts. I have specialized experience with recovery and LGBTQ communities. I offer a trauma-informed approach and years of experience working with acute co-occurring disorders. My therapeutic style blends presence, curiosity, and empathy with a willingness to gently challenge you, earning your trust and encouraging you to step outside your comfort zones and engage with difficult emotions in the secure space of therapy.
