​We feel emotions in our bodies. ​​Sometimes, our emotions cause ​ physical discomfort. ​Other times, we feel so strongly we become ​​ numb and disconnected. ​​​Becoming overwhelmed can leave us ​feeling ​ lonely and misunderstood. ​​We want to connect with others and enjoy life, ​ but we also want to​ protect ourselves. ​​In therapy with me, you will learn how to understand, appreciate, and work ​with your emotions to cultivate your relationships, fulfillment, and vitality. Therapy will not remove your feelings or creativity. It will help you understand and work with your emotions, rather than succumb to them.

I approach therapy with openness, curiosity, compassion, and non-judgement, building a space where it feels safe to explore and bring the whole of your experiences, joys and struggles alike.

I work with you to better understand these experiences, and compassionately reflect on how your past informs current ways of being, acknowledging interpersonal and systemic influences.
