I believe that a successful therapeutic relationship comes from collaboration, mutual respect, and authenticity. I aim to provide a supportive, collaborative, and affirming space to all people and relationships. I use a strengths-based, integrative, trauma-informed and inclusive approach to healing. I value supportive, and client-centered relationships as a necessary foundation for the therapeutic process. My goal is to create a warm, gentle, non-judgmental space so each client feels comfortable sharing what is on their minds and what is in their hearts. This may include diving into trauma, grief, and other challenging life experiences that prevent a person from feeling at peace and operating at their highest potential.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My biggest strength is my ability to provide a safe and affirming space for all identities, abilities, and bodies. I understand that you are the expert in your life, and I want to honor you and respect you.
I am passionate about supporting people experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ issues, and interpersonal relationship struggles.
We'll prioritize the establishment of a foundation of empathy and respect in our relationship, and in your evolving relationship with yourself. No matter what we encounter in therapy, I'll help you to increase and sustain practices for self trust and compassion.
I specialize in trauma-informed care, focusing on healing collective trauma, including shared historical and intergenerational trauma. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the profound impact of trauma on individuals and communities. I help clients navigate their healing journey by fostering safety, trust, and empowerment within the therapeutic space
