It can be intimidating and nerve-wracking to seek out therapy. But in doing so, you are already taking the first big step towards healing and taking good care of yourself. I believe that gaining insight about our past experiences and how they continue to influence our relationships, thinking, and emotional lives is an important aspect of the healing and growth process. I also strongly believe in the experiential and relational aspects of therapy where we work collaboratively to understand how our therapeutic relationship informs the work and what it can tell us about you.
I am trained in Psychodynamic and Relational models of therapy. I have experience working with a diverse array of clients in every sense of the word: from different identities, life circumstances, and mental health struggles. I very much value this experience and consider it a privilege to do this work.
Therapy is a fascinating and playful process of connection where we work together to help you learn about yourself and to practice new behaviors. I value our authentic connection and how that can deepen your appreciation for your authentic self.
