Sometimes we need an objective, non-judgmental person to listen. Family and friends can be wonderful sources of love and support, but sometimes it isn't enough. I understand that the idea of sharing your very personal and painful thoughts and experiences can be uncomfortable. For that reason, I take a compassionate and empathetic approach with all my clients. I strive to build a strong, collaborative, and trusting relationship to create safety, openness, and healing.

My ideal client is someone who has experienced trauma and is seeking a therapist who truly holds space for the depth of their experiences. They may be navigating the lasting effects of abuse, struggling with their identity, or working through challenges related to current policies, sexuality, or sex work. They need a space where they feel safer, affirmed, and met with genuine compassion—where they don’t have to educate their therapist or fear judgment. Their goals might include processing past trauma, building healthier relationships, affirming identity, developing coping skills, or simply feeling more at home in themselves.

I understand it takes a lot of courage to open up to the prospect of therapy, to uncover and take on personal challenges. I am focused on a client-oriented approach to understanding people as individuals, with various backgrounds and personal experiences. I recognize clients have diverse and unique visions, and my purpose is to be a facilitator of growth based on the client’s idea of physical, emotional, and mental well-being. I aim to help clients give voice to their experiences and work through present and past challenges using tailored interventions. I am informed by psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral theory.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you often wonder if life can feel better in some way? That you could be more content? We know life can throw complex challenges our way that can change the way we view the world, our relationships and, at times, ourselves. Not taking time for yourself, and pushing away your own needs, can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe these experiences can be transformed to serve as sources of empowerment and growth.
