I think most positive outcomes from therapy start with a strong working relationship. Learning about you through the context of your environment, neurobiology, and how you view yourself and the world is important to me. I seek to get to know all parts of you-even the parts you may not necessarily like about yourself must be understood, accepted and honored. We can discover ways in which you may be stuck holding on to unprocessed pain. I am here to sit with you through the discomfort, and also through the joy of relinquishing old patterns and methods of coping that are no longer serving you. Together we can develop new adaptive ways of moving through emotions within yourself and with those around us.

I consider my therapeutic approach to be client-centered and humanistic. I believe in the whole person, harm reduction approach to therapy. I do not have an agenda when treating clients, rather I like to empower clients in developing their own intentions for therapy and we collaborate on ways in which I can best support them. While my theoretical approach varies depending on the client, I try to incorporate mindfulness and somatic work with all of my clients. I will always check in to see how methods are working or not working for you.
