I believe that our symptoms often provide information about how we have had to adapt to our circumstances. I therefore strive to honor how you have had to cope while working towards alleviating your distress and deepening your connection with yourself and others.

I use the therapeutic relationship as the primary vehicle to provide corrective feedback to the human beings that come to see me. I model accountability, vulnerability, and grit. When I fail to uphold these virtues I own my errors and process my fallibility with my people to mend the ruptures that inevitably result in interpersonal relationships. Our caregivers, relatives, friends, acquaintances, and members of our community inflict wounds- sometimes directly, sometimes inadvertently. These wounds combine with our predispositions and are expressed as symptoms that impede our ability to experience a satisfying life. Humans inherently deserve relief from these troubling adaptations.

Our work is tailored to your specific needs, strengths and values. My approach to therapy is relational, systemic, trauma-informed and love-based.
