June 2026: Please reach out for a consultation if you'd like to be added to my waitlist, to begin working together in September.
In my approach I aim to look with you both internally and externally to find moments of reflection, validation, empowerment, clarity, and care. I use a warm, relational approach to my work with clients. Most importantly I strive to uphold anti-racist, liberatory, and LGBTQIA+ affirming scaffolding in my practice and I am always learning more in this respect. Therapy should feel safe, empowering, collaborative, and be a place where communication is transparent.
While my style is eclectic in approaching each client with what seems most relevant to them as an individual, I primarily find psychodynamic, person-centered, relational, and Mindful Self-Compassion theories and practices helpful in informing what I can offer.
Therapy can be many things and is different for each person. Whether you are new to therapy or returning, my hope is to meet you where you’re at, explore what may feel stuck, painful, or challenging, and support you in living a life aligned with what is most important to you.
