We are social beings that thrive on connection and a sense of belonging. I believe therapy is the most effective when we feel truly seen; that we matter. Seeking support can feel daunting and it takes courage to reach out and ask for help. Thank you for stopping here to learn more about me. I support individuals and couples in accessing their own innate wisdom and healing potential. My style is humanistic and transpersonal. I find that the deepest, most impactful changes take place when we address issues holistically, by engaging the mind, body, and spirit in the therapeutic process. A bit of well-timed humor can also go a long way.
My approach is collaborative and respectful. I envision myself walking alongside my clients through the wild landscape of their experience. The path may take unexpected twists and turns. My role is to companion my clients and honor their unique journey. I bring my sincerity, compassion, and open-hearted curiosity to create a safe and nurturing space.
I help clients to recognize and disentangle themselves from habits or beliefs that no longer serve them. Together we can address issues happening in the present, and explore how they might be rooted in the past, such as with attachment wounds or developmental trauma. My style is strengths-based, culturally humble, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and sex positive.
