Meaningful relationships matter. This is why I work from a collaborative approach using talk therapy by asking meaningful questions and reflections while genuinely trying to understand your life experiences. This approach can bring greater clarity to one’s feelings, understanding of life’s experiences, and a deep, profound sense empathy and understanding. Many people find this approach deeply impactful for their self-worth, self-compassion & trust in themselves. My approach emphasizes social justice, empathy, validation, and affirmation from a strength-based lens that critiques injustice, inequality and oppression in our lives.

I work with clients struggling with emotional and social difficulties who want to express and explore their feelings in an inclusive, affirming, welcoming and safe space. You can expect a deeply empathic perspective that offers insight and support to your experiences.

After our therapeutic relationship is established, we deepen our therapeutic relationship based on authenticity, trust, honesty, and meaningful connection. If a connected, compassionate & collaborative approach appeals to you, please reach out for a phone call to see if we’d continue to be a good fit for each other. You are welcome here.

During our first session together, you are welcome to share as much or as little about yourself as you're comfortable with. The main goal is to get to know one another and for you to determine if you can see yourself opening up to me. It's most important that you feel safe and secure, and that you can trust me. If I'm not the right fit for you, I'll help you find a therapist that is!
