At our core, human beings are wired for love and connection. I believe the therapeutic relationship can serve as a bridge between life experiences that create barriers to this truth-such as trauma, loss, or unmet needs- to remembering and getting back to our own authenticity. I believe each person I work with comes with their own wisdom and I strive to honor this through engaging in a collaborative approach to the therapeutic relationship, based on mutual engagement and shared ownership of the healing journey.

What I bring to this process is my experience working with foundational skills such as mindfulness and self compassion. I work to weave these together with inner child work, Internal Family Systems “inspired” techniques and working with paradoxes in thought to find middle ground.

Past clients have often described my style as “compassionate but does not coddle”. I strive to find a balance between providing safety while also acknowledging that growth happens outside of our comfort zone.
