Hello! If you have found yourself here it is likely you have set an intention of working psychologically to reduce distress, consider your traumatic experiences and/or understand yourself better. I believe that there's often a number of factors that contribute to people struggling with mental health. The things we experience shape us all, in many ways, affecting how we feel, the things we do, and/or our relationships with others. As such, I view mental wellbeing as something we all need to take the time to invest in, although this is not always easy!

**I am unable to take new clients at this time** I believe in the inner capacity of all humans to grow and heal in mind, body, and spirit from trauma or challenges faced in life. Due to our interconnected nature, this healing capacity is deepened and broadened through the assistance and support of others. I seek to hold a safe space through the therapeutic relationship to allow for the development of greater understanding and appreciation of self. Through this process, people begin to make meaningful changes and courageously act in ways that reflect their values and wholeness.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself as I am, then I change” (Carl Rogers). This is the work of therapy. I approach this work holistically, attending to how each of us is impacted by past and present relationships, and by systemic influences. My perspective is grounded in humanistic and attachment theories, and influenced by multicultural and feminist thinking, with an emphasis on counteracting oppression and treating other traumas. Research has demonstrated that our bodies hold important information that contributes to healing, therefore I incorporate body-based techniques into therapy as well.
