Great to meet you!

Entering therapy is a courageous step toward healing. My approach is founded on deep respect for the wisdom and strengths my clients bring to the therapeutic process. I focus on working collaboratively with each person’s innate ability to thrive by making meaning of lived experience, addressing obstacles that inhibit growth and healing the traumas that obscure our self worth. My treatment specialities include depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, chronic illness, career and relationship issues.

My approach to therapy

With over 20 years of experience in mental health, I focus on providing a warm, safe and attuned presence to hold the space needed for genuine reflection, exploration and progress. My approach is holistic, integrative and individualized. I draw from Buddhist psychology, psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR, CBT, existential, empowerment and strength based therapies to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each person. But more than anything, I focus on creating and holding a space of warmth, connection, and non-judgmental compassion because healing happens when you feel truly seen and understood.

What you can expect from me

I believe the capacity for thriving lives in each of us. I will partner with you in navigating the challenges and patterns that lead to suffering. Together, we will deepen compassionate self awareness, build on intrinsic resilience and unearth your agency to live your most meaningful and connected life.
