As a therapist, I provide the structure and support needed to deepen inner work. Have you been in therapy for a while and feel stuck? Many of us get through our initial experience in counseling and feel better, have healthier boundaries and feel more sure of ourselves. This is so incredible and many stop therapy here. For others, often therapists, creatives, spiritual seekers or those in helping professions, we have a sense that there is more to be uncovered here. That is my focus as a therapist. Inner work can feel murky. I provide a clarifying container to deepen in the midst of the unknown and the hunch that there is more to see.

Looking back at interactions with a partner, coworker, or friend often leaves you with feelings of being out of control, as if someone else dictated the words spoken. You commonly feel guilt or shame after you have cooled down, and look back wondering "Who was that person?" or maybe it leaves you with a sense of thats not who you're supposed to be. You wonder if alcohol or substances have become a problem instead of the solution they originally were. Many people find themselves questioning how they reached this point and why managing everything feels so difficult, especially when it seems like others have it all figured out.

I see adult clients who may be dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, family problems, life stage issues, chronic illness, or grief. As we explore your situation, we will learn more about the current problem, and how it is similar to or different from experiences you have had in the past. Your usual ways of solving problems may not be working now. As we reflect on your characteristic responses to people and situations, we will consider changes you can make that will help you get more of what you are looking for in your life.

Breaking unhealthy habits, getting "unstuck", or working through life’s challenges requires creativity. But when we are feeling depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed, our brains tend to follow rigid patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting. And that makes creativity difficult to access. As a therapist, my goal is to develop a fully creative process with each client and provide a comfortable space to explore and discuss different perspectives and self-care strategies.

As an integrative therapist, I will help you explore healing through words, somatic practices, and creative expression. My approach is trauma-responsive, and rooted in anti-oppressive values and cultural humility. I believe it is essential to be receptive and responsive to everyone's own understanding of their problems, including social, political, and systemic factors, and the implications of these realities on their well-being. Whether through more traditional therapy or art-based methods, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered.

My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you feel comfortable and at ease. Building a trusting relationship is essential. Within this accepting and empathic setting personal introspection and growth can take place. Whether you have been in therapy previously or are new to the journey, seeking therapy is not always easy. I understand that taking this first step can often be one of the biggest challenges. I will work with you in a partnership to identify what is currently working in your life and what may be holding you back.
