I approach my work with openness, respect, and curiosity. I work collaboratively with you to help you achieve your goals. My style incorporates awareness of the past with a focus on improving satisfaction in the present. I will actively listen and reflect as well as challenge and empower you to direct your own life. Together we will identify your strengths, increase your insight, and develop coping skills that promote positive change.
I work with individuals who are looking for greater fulfillment in various parts of their lives. Many of the people I work with feel disconnected from themselves and others or feel held back by long standing patterns, beliefs, and expectations.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the healing agent in therapy. I work from an anti-oppression lens to create an affirming space for LGBTQ folks as well as folks from diverse range of racial, ethnic, and spiritual identities.
