I work with clients who seek to develop a richer understanding of their lives and their preferred ways of being, evolving, and flourishing. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that exploring the taken-for-granted and embracing complexity can open up the imaginative possibilities of living.

This approach also means our work will develop and unfold in unique and specific ways. Together, we will pay attention to whether we are having the conversations you need to support change outside of the therapy room.

Bridging the gap between what is known and what is true for you can be challenging, but I hope to provide you with the non-judgmental space, good humor, and compassionate care to support the work and honor your decision to engage in it.
