My aim is to walk alongside you, working together to explore your challenges, old hurts, dreams, and needs. These parts of you all have a context. Together we can explore the impact your identity, history, and place in the world play in your life. I will provide a non-judgmental space that welcomes all thoughts and feelings. You are the expert on you, even if that doesn’t feel true today. I have experience helping people with relationship concerns; trauma; grief, loss and bereavement; substance use; and mental and emotional health. I’d love to support you in embracing your authentic self. I am rooted in harm reduction using a person-centered, mindfulness-based, and existential framework.
The first session is an opportunity to consider what you’d like to work on and review some of the nuts and bolts of therapy.
I endeavor to create a warm and accepting atmosphere that will enable us to build a mutual trust. I bring an enthusiastic curiosity to my work to honor your unique story. Having experience in a variety of settings has taught me how to provide individualized care while staying in touch with my therapeutic foundations.
I am a skilled support for people who are trying to figure it out and could use a non-judgmental space. I enjoy creating a partnership to offer respect for your story where we can decide what’s next.
