Feeling deeply understood can have a profound effect on our health, well being, and ability to be in relationship with ourselves, others, and the world around us.
My hope for my patients is that we are able to co-create something that allows you to discover the parts of yourself yet unknown—the strength, talents, resilience, as well as the fears, doubts and grief that make up the entirety of who you are. In doing so, I can help you to come into loving acceptance of the more ingrained aspects of your personality and work on modifying thought patterns and behaviors that are no longer serving you.

Providing you with a safe space to discover yourself.
I welcome people of all backgrounds, cultures, life-experiences, and belief systems. I recognize that making the decision to come to therapy is a courageous step, and not always easy. I consider it an honor that you would trust me with your most personal information and begin walking this path. Keeping that in mind, your confidentiality will always be my top priority. Your appointments will happen over telehealth, offering you the security and comfort of participating in therapy from your own home. The care I provide is LGBTQIA+ affirmative, and aims to be culturally competent and trauma-informed.

My approach
I do not believe there is any one right way to approach therapy because each person is unique and therefore, my relationship with each of you will be different. My education had a Depth Psychological emphasis, which involves working with the unconscious, symbols and how we are undeniably connected to the collective, so there will likely be elements of that in our work together. I also strongly believe in the foundation of a person-centered and trauma-informed approach being the cornerstone of any good therapy. Beyond that, the interventions we use could be borrowed from a variety of modalities because there are many ways in which I hope we get to know you, and many possible paths to health.
