Finding a therapist who you can connect with is so important. Whether or not that person is me, I want you to know that healing is possible. Therapy can provide a new framework for relating to yourself with increased compassion, acceptance, and curiosity. I strive to cultivate an environment of trust, collaboration, nonjudgment, and exploration. Nobody wants to feel pain, yet oftentimes the strategies we come up with to avoid it lose their utility over time and cause more suffering. Therapy isn’t about getting rid of pain but learning to tolerate it so we’re able to experience the full spectrum of emotions.
I take a holistic, person-centered approach, integrating elements of attachment theory, mindfulness, inner child/parts work, third wave cognitive behavioral therapies, and EMDR. I use my background in child development to help clients identify unmet needs. I specialize in trauma and work primarily with adults who are survivors of childhood abuse or neglect.
My intention as a therapist is to know and connect with you deeply, accepting even those parts you wish to disown. I don’t place huge emphasis on diagnosis and view each therapeutic encounter as unique, which I believe opens space for greater authenticity and change. If it seems like I might be a good fit for you, please reach out to me with any questions!
