I am not your typical therapist, and strive to always create that emotional connection that allows us to work through any issue as a team. Most of my clients have already tried traditional therapy, and haven't been able to engage in one way or the other. Many of my clients haven't felt heard or understood, and it is a goal of mine to make therapy accessible for all. My belief as a therapist is that everyone can benefit- and should benefit from the relationship they have with their therapist. My clients believe in person centered care- and feedback goes both ways. I provide a trauma informed environment where the client gets to lead.

I believe in my clients and the pursuit of their goals, using a relational approach to combine a diverse range of person-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed and developmentally appropriate interventions including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, Sensori-motor, Somatic, and Expressive Arts Therapy.
I love working with cycle breakers who are approaching burnout, who are done feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from their unique selves. My clients are learners, thinkers and healers, who appreciate understanding themselves, who strive to have deeper and more meaningful relationships, and who want to make a positive impact on the world and take responsibility for the trajectory of their lives. I believe that each client has their own unique strength and spark, and I actively build a safe space for therapy that also includes room for joy, creativity and laughter.
