Welcome — I'm so glad you're here.
Seeking out a therapist can be daunting and vulnerable. I want to honor your courage in taking this step and investing in yourself. Here's a bit about how I approach the therapeutic process. If what you read here resonates, please reach out — I would love to speak with you.
First and foremost, I work relationally because I believe that an open, connected therapeutic relationship is the most powerful means for healing and growth. To me, therapy is a collaborative partnership — one built on consent, shared input, and ongoing feedback as we move through the process together. My style is sincere, nonjudgmental, curious, and practical.
I'm particularly interested in exploring early attachments and underlying emotional needs, while drawing from trauma-informed approaches (client’s pace, grounding, self-compassion), parts-work, mindfulness and imagery, exploring thought patterns, and harm reduction.
I'm also deeply committed to viewing therapy through an anti-oppression lens. This means we explore how dominant societal messages regarding race, class, culture, gender, sexuality, family structure, and body image impact your sense of self — while I am also engaging in my own process of reflection and (un)learning. I strive to be queer-affirming, anti-racist, feminist, and body-neutral.
I would be honored to be a witness and companion alongside your healing journey. I hold a deep belief in the worthiness of every person, no matter where they begin. Together, we'll create a space for you to share various parts of yourself and work towards unpacking underlying issues — the stuck-ness, the messiness, the grief, the vulnerability, the (dis)connection, and also the joy and meaning. My goal is to help you feel seen, safe, and open to new and nuanced perspectives. Ultimately, my hope is that you strengthen your authentic inner truth, while developing realistic coping skills and resilience for life’s challenges.
