My Approach to Helping
My mission as a therapist is to help folks heal from the pain of their past and transform their relationships to themselves – and their lives – in the present. My approach is based on meeting you exactly where you are, getting to know who you are and what you’re seeking from therapy, and then guiding you to where you want to be.
My philosophy is rooted in humility. I strive to embody the openness and compassionate curiosity that I encourage in my clients. You can expect me to be warm, nonjudgmental and transparent. I’ll help you process your thoughts, offering feedback, insight and psycho-education along the way. I’ll hold space for the complexity of your feelings and support you in working through them, together.
I also sincerely believe that humor is essential to healing and building resilience – not to mention the power of mutually recognizing both the joys and absurdities of being human. So, it would be fair to expect a bit of laughter from time to time too.
I am committed to practicing with a trauma-informed, LGBTQI+ affirming, feminist and anti-racist lens. I am dedicated to staying engaged in the work of understanding and leveraging my own privilege.
