Hi – I’m so glad you’re here! By looking for a therapist, you’re already taking a big step toward change. Whether you’ve suffered trauma or abuse, have unresolved emotional pain, or are simply struggling to exist and find balance in this challenging world - therapy is a space where you can be seen, heard, and received unconditionally, facilitating the surfacing of deep truths and possibilities. I understand my role to be to assist my clients in coming back into contact with their own inner capacities for healing and growth. I welcome all sexual orientations, gender expressions, and neurotypes.
I believe that befriending parts of ourselves, even the ones we find difficult to accept, is a key ingredient in healing and change. I practice primarily IFS-informed, relational, and mindfulness-based therapy in session. My approach is collaborative, non-pathologizing, and culturally sensitive.
It can be challenging to reach out for help, and it's important to find the right therapist for you. I encourage you to get in touch for a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if I could be a good fit for your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!
