MY APPROACH
My goal is to help you feel connected to yourself and empowered in your ability to show up to life fully.
Therapy is a collaborative.
I help clients openly recognize, build tolerance for, and express their feelings. Therapy can help organize the big emotions that come up. When clients describe their experiences in their own words, it builds self-awareness and helps them build a stronger understanding of themselves and their patterns. Understanding our emotions and stories gives us important insight into our values, desires, needs, and identities.
Therapy is systemic.
We impact and are impacted by the systems around us. We acknowledge systemic biases and expectations aloud: gender, cultural, familial, or intergenerational…anything that feels implicitly restrictive and interruptive. In this work, we consider your autonomy and how you want to engage with or question those systems.
Therapy is focused on your choices.
Mindful reflection helps us understand our experiences. It lets us make clear, fully-informed choices about our lives moving forward.

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT OUT OF THERAPY WITH ME?
You can expect curiosity, respect, honesty, and my commitment towards making the therapy space safe for you. A huge part of that is practicing non-judgment while you share your world with me. I am kind, firm, and hold boundaries for myself and my clients.
I support clients in building insight, self-esteem, and self-trust.
