My approach honors the authentic self and invites clients to do the same. When enduring complex situations and relationships, our innate strengths can become less accessible to us. I facilitate a therapeutic environment that encourages healing through slowing down and reconnecting with these quieter parts of self so that useful insights and a broader perspective can emerge in times of stuckness.

 My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative and direct. I incorporate a creative and playful approach to the space, making therapy feel lighter and more approachable. I also make use of somatic based approaches to therapy where clients are asked to move away from the busyness of their lives and into embodied experiences where new information can be uncovered and resilience can be revealed. I will also explore techniques from AEDP, EMDR and IFS, all in an effort to invite clients to return to their truest selves in times where emotions feel activated, clarity is lacking, and life feels especially overwhelming.

 I value creating a safe, affirming space where all identities are honored, as my work is LGBTQ+ aligned and trauma-informed. My practice welcomes clients at various stages of life, working with teenagers facing developmental challenges, adults navigating major transitions, parents managing family dynamics, and older adults adjusting to life changes. I work well with people who are curious about their deeper motivations, want to explore parts of themselves that feel mysterious, and who are driven by a desire for true growth. To bear witness to someone’s uncovering of their truest self drives my passion for this work.
