I tend to align with clients of depth, intensity, and sensitivity who are interested in increasing their self-/partner awareness and interpersonal effectiveness. I often attract clients who have complex co-occurring symptoms and have often not felt helped by other therapists. It is an honor to provide a sense of identification and relational safety to clients and couples who resonate with my style and integrative, individualized approach.
I have lived all over the US and in international settings abroad. I find that my experience and sensitivity to a variety of cultural backgrounds helps clients feel wholly seen and supported. I am extensively trained in working with couples and individuals with relational distress often arising from unresolved trauma.
I value working with clients who want to both stabilize and thrive in their lives and also explore deeper meaning and healing in their own emotional, professional, relational, and transpersonal lives.
I also hold a second master's in philosophy & religion, and find this often helps clients integrate their personal perspectives on existential questions.
