Modalities + Types of Treatment

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy:
ACT helps build psychological flexibility by learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions guided by your values.

Person-Centered Counseling:
Prioritizes empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard from the therapist, so you can better understand yourself and be genuinely heard and supported.

Internal Parts Work:
Focuses on understanding and healing the various “parts” of yourself (critical, wounded, young, afraid, etc) so you can feel more internally cohesive and balanced.

EMDR (full training will be completed April 2026):
Helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less intense and no longer disrupt your current day-to-day life.

Somatic Therapy:
Explores how stress and trauma are held in the body, and uses body-based awareness and techniques to support regulation, internal safety, and healing.

Other modalities that I often incorporate into sessions include: Dialectical Behavior Therapy; Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Existential Therapy; Motivational Interviewing; Functional Analytic Psychotherapy; Feminist Theory; Narrative Therapy

My Approach to Counseling

From our first phone call, my priority is building a genuine, safe, and unique relationship with you. I'm passionate about men’s mental health, LGBTQ clients, and anyone who's ready to journey deep into the root cause of what brings them to counseling. I often work with anxiety, trauma, OCD, persistent depression, domestic abuse and violence, addictive behaviors, sex and pornography concerns, self-harm, and self-discovery. But before I see any of the issues on this list, I see you as a fellow human being. Our therapeutic relationship is at the core of every insight, skill, or change that might result from our work together.

When someone meets you with complete acceptance, it is harder for shame, avoidance, or apathy to get in the way of you embracing a meaningful life. My approaches guide you to embrace the full range of your emotions and somatic sensations. Your distress is not a sign of weakness, stigma, or wrongdoing. I believe that through better understanding yourself, you can re-discover your own resilience.

Our sessions might feel comforting, humorous, vulnerable, or challenging. Most of all, they are yours. Though you may want to make changes to reach your goals, I am not judging you or wishing you were different than however you are right now. Whether it's your first or hundredth counseling session, I honor the courage it takes to reach out.
