I am passionate about helping people make new discoveries about themselves to improve functioning and outlook. I invite you to “get curious” about yourself and what has contributed to your current life challenges. Curiosity is essential to finding meaning and connection with others and ourselves. I will work with you to open up to uncertainty and learn to coexist and understand your uncomfortable feelings, rather than avoid them. You are not a problem to be fixed; you are a whole, complex, and amazing person!
I believe theater and improvisation can be wonderful ways to stay present, take risks, explore parts of ourselves, and connect with ourselves and others. If appropriate, I will use my background in Drama and Expressive Therapy to help you reach your goals.
That being said, one approach does not fit everyone and I work from a wide range of modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems, among others. I look forward to participating in this exploration with you and helping you reach your goals!
