The core of my work is creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, respected, and understood. A full and satisfying life is unique to each person; I will collaborate with you as you move toward the life you want to live. Understanding each client's culture, identities, and worldview is central to my approach. Not only is it important to deeply understand you as an individual, but also to explore how factors in the wider environment either promote your well being or intensify your distress. A holistic approach to wellness involves the individual, their relationships, and their wider world.
I flexibly draw from many therapy approaches. These include mindfulness, using one's values to guide change, fostering compassion for oneself, and exploring existential themes. I help clients become aware of patterns in their thinking, feeling, relating to themselves, and relating to others. We explore the life experiences that set these patterns in motion.
Finding a good fit between therapist and client is important. I encourage you to reach out to me for an initial phone call to discuss what is bringing you to therapy and how I might help. During this call, I welcome questions about my practice and approach to therapy.
