“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself as I am, then I change” (Carl Rogers). This is the work of therapy. I approach this work holistically, attending to how each of us is impacted by past and present relationships, and by systemic influences. My perspective is grounded in humanistic and attachment theories, and influenced by multicultural and feminist thinking, with an emphasis on counteracting oppression and treating other traumas. Research has demonstrated that our bodies hold important information that contributes to healing, therefore I incorporate body-based techniques into therapy as well.
My intention as a therapist is to be a safe and trustworthy companion in exploring what got you where you are today, and helping you acknowledge and process your experiences. With partners and families, I look to honor each participant and foster understanding and empathy, promoting a sense of connection that can lead to more satisfying relationships.
Life is a courageous journey, and not always an easy one. Building a relationship with a therapist who receives us without conditions, or sits with us in our relationships without assigning blame, makes acceptance possible. I hope to provide an environment that gives you access to your capacity for healing and growth, and to liberating new opportunities.
