Not Your Typical Therapist

I'm not your typical "blank slate" therapist. I share my thoughts and knowledge, I’ll email you resources and see if that resonates with you. 

I believe the clients are the experts in their healing journey, while I bring expertise in the therapeutic field. Together, we build a supportive, trusting relationship and explore what it means to be a silly complex human being.

In terms of modalities, I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Expressive Arts, and Mindfulness techniques. 

I love learning. I'm a huge nerd who "reads" (mostly listen on audible) about 50 books a year, drawing inspiration from psychologists, social activists, neuroscientists, and maybe some fantasy books if the premise is good. Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order. 

Radha Argawal, Brene Brown, Tricia Hersey, Bryon Katie, Judson Brewer, James Clear, Andrew Huberman, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Tara Brach, Kristin Neff, Ross Gay, Jacob Ham, Terrance Real, Catherine Price, and Edward Hallowell.
