It is my honor to work with clients on paths of exploration, personal growth, and healing. Because of the pain that often brings us to therapy, I believe that safety, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity are of the utmost importance in the therapeutic relationship. My theoretical orientation in counseling is primarily psychodynamic and interpersonal within a humanistic framework. I believe that past experiences inform current understanding, and exploring such issues can be healing. Change can also be related to a new understanding of relational patterns and a new experience of relationship with the therapist and others.
I believe that being caring, authentic, congruent, and respectful is therapeutic. Social structures, privilege, and oppression are tied to many concerns, and my practice is anti-racist and LGBTQ affirmative. Also, many are struggling with the current political climate - you are welcome here. Please see my website for more detailed information.
I welcome all forms of diversity, including but not limited to diverse racial/ethnic, sexual and gender, and religious/spiritual identities. For some, religious experience is helpful and for others it has been traumatic. All are invited. Note: Email is insecure, so confidentiality is likely but cannot be guaranteed. Please call if this is a concern.
