Great to meet you!

I see my role as creating a safe space a where you can explore what it means to be you. Within the therapeutic alliance, built on trust and safety, I will listen to your joys, fears, and pain with empathy and compassion, and offer you tools to thrive.

My approach to therapy

My approach draws from person-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed perspectives, utilizing a combination of orientations that includes cognitive behavioral, humanistic, psychoanalytic, transpersonal, somatic, and mindfulness-based. I personalize my approach to best suit each individual client. My focus has been on trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, anger, issues of identity amidst life changes, and others, but can I also help with whatever life throws at you.

What you can expect from me

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu
