Great to meet you!

I am a deeply creative and kind human, I will encourage self compassion in our work together as self criticism shuts down awareness and growth.

My approach to therapy

I weave together the creative, somatic, humanistic, collaborative, conversational, and challenging; while holding compassion for the real struggles of life on life's terms and tenderness for how we ended up here.

What you can expect from me

Well, since the first session is an intake, they can expect a fair amount of questions from a warm and kind person who is listening deeply. After that they can expect the same warmth and kindness, along with modeling healthy boundaries, reminders of their goodness, encouragement around trying new things, empathy for the inherent pain of life, and challenges to grow in whatever direction they are aiming for.
