There is magic in being known, both to ourselves and in relationship with others. When we allow ourselves to be seen through a lens of curiosity, instead of judgment, we create the space to peel back the layers of “shoulds” and inherited narratives to find our authentic selves. I believe therapy to be a collaborative process between client and counselor rooted in trust, compassion and mutual respect. If I accomplish nothing else, I hope to show my clients that they matter, that their experience is valid, and that they have within themselves the resources necessary to self-actualize.
I work from a foundation of person-centered therapy, firmly rooted in the belief that every human being has an inherent capacity to reach their full potential. From here, I integrate a combination of somatic interventions, parts work, and skills oriented approaches such as DBT, ACT, and CBT, thoughtfully tailored to each client and their unique journey.
While I truly enjoy working with a wide range of clientele, I have a particular passion for working with trauma and addiction/recovery. I believe in the power of working from a foundation of grace, acceptance and curiosity, challenging black and white thinking in favor of psychological flexibility and self-compassion.
