My work as a therapist is guided by the values of authenticity and respect. I offer a safe and supportive environment for self-examination and growth, and work in partnership with you to determine your own unique needs for healing. I have experience supporting clients through life and career transitions, explorations of meaning and purpose, anxiety, depression, decision-making, concerns surrounding chronic illness and/or disability, and issues related to creative work and identity. When appropriate, I incorporate mindfulness and acceptance practices, and work from a trauma-informed lens that includes body-awareness.
I approach our sessions from a humanistic framework, and believe strongly in each individual's right and ability to determine the best choices for themselves. In our work, I hope to provide a space that encourages improved resiliency over time, and increased clarity of your own inner voice.
I truly enjoy my work and feel strongly that meaningful connection between individuals and community is restorative. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about how to find the right therapist for you. I'm happy to meet for a free phone or video consultation so you can determine if we are a good fit for one another.
