I believe that it is really important for a person to feel that someone truly hears and understands them. My approach is to create a space where you can feel safe, valued, and understood. From that place, we work together at helping you explore the life you want to live, including understanding and changing the obstacles that are getting in the way of your sense of self fulfillment and relatedness to others and the world.
I have extensive background with people suffering from depression, anxiety, childhood and adult onset trauma, chronic and terminal illnesses, loss and/or death of a loved one, sexual identity struggles, and people with other psychological and/or physical challenges.
I have a background in creative and artistic practice which helps me look at the extraordinary potential every person has in creating a life worth living.
