Great to meet you!

Working with those who have experienced difficult life circumstances and trauma is my passion. My aim is to form a safe therapeutic relationship in order to facilitate healing and meaning making in your life story. I also enjoy helping others find new coping skills, increase valued living, and navigate emotional dynamics that occur within all of us.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing difficult life transitions, traumatic events, mood and anxiety disorders, stress, or those wanting to increase wellbeing in all areas of life. Let’s work together to find meaning in your suffering, heal the broker spaces within you, and create ways to best cope through difficult seasons. My aim is not to put a bandaid over your wound, let's get down to the roots. I incorporate mind-body techniques such as Lifespan Integration into my work.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to form a safe, therapeutic relationship with you in which you are able to explore what's causing you pain. A space to celebrate growth and dig into the most difficult things in life. A place to share unspoken stories, begin to see your value, and start to come alive again. My hope for you is you'd leave feeling truly heard and be able to incorporate skills into your daily life outside of sessions.
