Contact me, and together we can enliven your quest for personal and/or professional growth, moving you toward increased self-awareness and confidence to make the changes you want in your life. Whether you want to feel better on a daily basis, improve your relationships or deepen your connection to yourself, the most important component in therapy is the therapeutic relationship.

I offer a safe, respectful, collaborative and creative environment where we can explore both individual and relationship issues.

Your concerns, whether they are distressing emotions, problematic patterns of behavior, or interpersonal conflict, are the starting place for a process of investigation, understanding, and change.

My guiding principle as a therapist is deep listening without judgment (acknowledgement plus acceptance) so that people can feel the freedom to express themselves, explore their experiences and create authentic connection. I believe that listening is an essential tool in healing and feeling valued. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, with an anti-oppression lens. I am committed to the lifelong unlearning of colonial structures that are deeply rooted in mental health, and to holding space for others to unpack how societal and institutional structures have impacted their mental health and wellness.

I provide a compassionate and honest environment in which you can feel heard and deeply understood. Guiding clients to discover their truths is, in large part, how I see my role, throughout which feelings around intimacy, loss, shame, and anger are often central themes. Couples counseling, addiction, divorce, co-parenting, sexual identity and sexual dysfunction issues are some of my specialties.

You are about to take your first step forward toward growth, change and improving the quality of your life. Your decision to start therapy is a commitment to yourself. By exploring both the past and the present, you will recognize life patterns and dynamics which affect your relationships, career, and overall emotional and physical well-being. I believe each person is unique and do not utilize a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Rather, we will work collaboratively to create a safe, supportive environment that encourages honesty, authenticity, connection and directness. Together we establish the direction and pace of our work.

Striving for mental health and wellness in a society with as many issues as ours is hard. Finding a therapist to support you in that, can sometimes feel even harder. What criteria do you base your decision on? Degrees, years in practice, areas of expertise, whether they still meet people in person... But what a profile and your research cannot tell you, happens to be the most important criteria: if the two of you will "fit.” The best and quickest way to know for certain is to schedule the appointment.

My approach is a supportive, interactive one that aims to help people better understand their thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Ultimately my goal is to establish a collaborative dialogue that offers a safe place to examine current challenges alongside past formative experiences.
