About Me.
My therapeutic style is person-centered and collaborative. I'm curious and energized by getting to know each individual's unique life experience, and I tailor my approach to each person's or couple's specific needs and perspective. My work is attachment-based, meaning I create an environment of unconditional positive regard and safety. I find that so often we hold on to messages or beliefs we learned in childhood that we must have the courage to let go of, and to challenge and deeply examine what is now our present truth. By tending to our past, we can better show up for ourselves in the present. Much of my training has come from Pia Mellody's model for codependency and attachment trauma, and I find that when we can start to really get to know the vulnerable parts of ourselves, we make room for an extremely spiritual form of self-love and self-connection.
Personally, I'm married, with two young sons who not only keep me on my toes but also keep me well connected to the simple joys of life. I enjoy spending as much time as I can outdoors, with friends and family, traveling to new places, and creating art, these days mostly with my sons.
