My Approach to Therapy
I use an evidence-informed approach (ASAT) to create structure, address compulsive sexual behavior, reduce guilt and shame, improve emotional regulation, and support partners. My approach is deeply collaborative. Think of me as a guide who uses various evidence-based techniques — including Restoration Therapy (Level 1), experiential parts work, attachment theory, and family systems — to help you navigate your own therapy and build the agency to make real changes for yourself and your relationships.
What It's Like to Work Together
I value creating a safe place where you feel understood and can be your authentic self. My style is empathetic, supportive, and direct. I meet you where you are, in pain and in joy. I bring attention to progress, not perfection, to build your agency in the therapeutic work. I support you in a nonjudgmental manner with tools you can use even outside the therapy office.
