If we work together you will find that I am a warm, welcoming individual who believes in the healing power of connection. I approach my work with curiosity and compassionate inquiry to support your journey in connecting to yourself and your community. We all have the wisdom and power to heal within us, but we need safety and support to access it. I desire to support my clients with making sense of themselves based on their lived experiences and present day challenges. I believe in being human and realistic with my clients by offering a safe and respectful space for connection and healing.
My style and approach is a product of all I have learned from professional mentors and continued education; I use trauma based interventions such as somatic processing; internal family systems, breath work and grounding and other trauma trainings. I am always learning and incorporating new techniques which I tailor to your needs in session.
At the heart of my work is a strong, supportive and collaborative partnership between us. Our work will focus on bringing you into greater connection with yourself and your world. Each client is different and I accept you as you are and support you in your desire to heal. Reach out and we can set up a time to consult to see if we would be a good fit!

You are a whole person with lots of life experiences, I want to get to know you outside of your immediate symptoms. I like to spend time building rapport and getting to know you. During initial sessions I like to focus on your family system, what led you to where you are today, who are the important people in your life and what you like to do when you have a free evening.

In my experience the most effective therapeutic treatment happens when it is a collaborative process. In a therapeutic relationship we build mutual respect and understanding and we both come to sessions prepared to work together on getting you closer to your goals. I am here for support, but you make the change happen with each choice you make for yourself.
