I am a trained gestalt therapist and pride myself on being open, accepting and non-judgmental. I have a special interest in working with complex trauma and PTSD and in working with families of young people dealing with gender dysphoria. Above all I value authentic, open communication and work with my clients to remove barriers to meaningful, authentic relationships with themselves and others.
I approach therapy as a collaboration between myself and my clients. I don't see myself as an expert with all the answers. But I can help you recognize patterns and behaviors that you might be unaware of and that might be getting in the way of your ability to live your most meaningful life.
The most important thing I think that therapy can offer is the chance to feel seen, heard, valued and believed. When we aren't fighting for these things, it is a lot easier to know and understand ourselves better. My clients tell me that they come to new and clearer understandings of themselves and their relationships.
