I approach therapy as a collaborative exploration of an individual’s lived experiences, the meanings they make out of these experiences, and the relationships they cultivate with self and others in the context of these experiences and meaning-making. In therapy together we slow these conscious and lesser conscious processes down to better understand what might be happening, where people may be stuck in self-limiting narratives or patterns, where resilience, joy, and strength can be recognized, and where growth and change are possible.
‍
People may seek out therapy because they feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, unable to identify and articulate their wants and needs, or simply because they want to better understand themselves and live more intentionally.  Whatever your reasons for exploring therapy may be, you are likely curious about your own potential for growth and change. I have tremendous respect for all of those I work with for showing up for themselves to explore this potential that we all possess.

To meaningfully engage in therapy people need first and foremost to feel safe, seen, and valued, which are key functions of the therapeutic relationship. I bring warmth, deep listening openness, honesty, insight, cultural sensitivity and humility, and a spirit of collaboration, authenticity, and humor to my work with both adolescents and adults. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where the vulnerability that precipitates deeper levels of understanding and growth is encouraged and met with a sense of wonder, respect, and curiosity.

Please be in touch if you have questions about my services and/or if you would like to set up a complimentary 30-minute consultation to explore working together.
