Happy New Year! I thought I would share a little bit about how I pratice therapy to kick off 2026!

Psychotherapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level coping skills. It’s about creating a dependable and steady relationship where you can start to trust bringing all of yourself—your doubts, your brilliance, your hidden pain—and know you’ll be met with care, depth, insight, and solid clinical skills. I’ll ask questions that might be evocative, but I’ll also be right there with you as you explore your answers.

My clients often come to me after trying other kinds of therapy that didn’t quite reach the depth they needed. They’re ready to go further, and I’m ready to go there with them. I am also honored to be there alongside someone finding their courage to start therapy for the first time. We may laugh together, we may sit in silence together, and sometimes we’ll wrestle with things that feel impossible. Through it all, my commitment is to go the distance with you as you reconnect with your authentic self and step into the life you want to live.

Happy New Year's Eve! I decided to offer sessions today and so am in my office with a few minutes of free time. I decided to clean out a drawer and found this quote I printed out years ago. I still love it. Wishing you all more aliveness in 2026!

I really appreciate this take. Becoming authentic, not necessarily "cheerful" is a true healing path.

I participated in this powerful group reading of "I am a Person Reclaiming Body Trust" in 2023. Still rings true and important message.

What if you could stop shaming yourself and start getting curious about yourself instead...that is where the healing happens.

We can’t expect ourselves—or our clients—to simply let go of what once helped us survive.

Addictive or compulsive behaviors aren’t just “bad habits.” They often serve as attempts at self-regulation when no better options were available.

In NARM, we get curious about what these adaptations are still doing for us, and explore what becomes possible as new, more life-affirming ways of regulating begin to emerge.

Compassion creates space for change.
