Therapeutic Approach
-
Nervous System-Focused Care Prioritizing Safety & Pacing
I prioritize your physical and emotional safety by recognizing how past experiences shape your present and ensuring you are never pushed beyond what you are ready to handle.
-
Uncovering Root Patterns and Relationship Dynamics
I help you explore your unconscious mind and recurring patterns, uncovering how your past relationships and hidden emotions influence your current choices.
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
This approach helps your brain process experiences that still feel emotionally “stuck”, so they become less intense and easier to manage. It uses guided techniques like eye movements or tapping while you briefly focus on difficult memories, helping them feel more distant and less triggering over time.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
We will work together to identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns to help you manage difficult emotions and improve your daily life. Together, we build concrete tools to interrupt over-thinking and perfectionism so you can regain control over your day.
-
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
I teach practical skills in emotional regulation, stress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help you find a healthy balance between self-acceptance and positive change.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
We will focus on accepting what is out of your control while clarifying your personal values so you can take committed action toward a meaningful life. This approach is highly effective for navigating major life transitions, helping you break free from rigid expectations and build a life that feels genuinely authentic to you.

Gender-Affirming Surgery Referral Letters
Navigating the medical requirements for gender-affirming care can feel overwhelming and deeply transactional. I provide streamlined, insurance-compliant referral letters for gender-affirming surgeries. Our focus is entirely on getting you the documentation you need safely and efficiently—without forcing you into unnecessary, long-term therapy or making you prove your identity.
Whether your insurance or surgeon requires one or two mental health letters, we will work together in a collaborative, respectful session to map out your goals and get your documentation completed promptly.
