When we are looking to heal, we deserve a safe, compassionate space in which to do so. I use a warm, non-judgmental approach to work collaboratively with my clients, honoring you as the expert on yourself. Whether you are navigating a loss, trauma, challenges in your relationships or finding it difficult to cope, our work will be built on our connection. I support teens, adults, and families in building fulfilling lives, freer from the burden of what currently feels intolerable.
I utilize a strengths-based approach, affirming your existing abilities to cope and keep yourself safe. Curiosity is used to combat shame and assist clients in getting “unstuck” in unfulfilling patterns and ways of looking at themselves, the world, and others. I am a queer practitioner, dedicated to providing identity-affirming, anti-oppressive care.
A combination of cognitive and body-based modalities are used to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each client. The mind-body connection is integral to my work, and the nervous system is addressed every step of the way. If this seems like a good fit, I would love to hear from you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for a complimentary consultation.
