You may be seeking therapy for various reasons, or have the feeling it might help without knowing your specific goals. I believe therapy is an opportunity for growth through an authentic relationship, and through this human connection, we can discover your goals, needs, and hopes for therapy. I most often work with queer clients, neurodivergent folks, and those with mood disorders. I offer an honest, safe, and non-hierarchical space to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings. I strive to support my clients in finding ways to thrive despite our oppressive world. If you are looking for a safe relationship to explore who you are and what you need, I would be honored to walk that path with you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will review the intake assessment and get to know each other. I will ask questions about you and I also welcome you to ask questions about me. The purpose of the first session is to start to build rapport. We will begin to lay the foundation for a meaningful therapeutic relationship.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am psychodynamically trained, which means I hold space for the impact of the past on the present, and I value making the unconscious, conscious. The therapeutic relationship is central to my practice.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I build strong and lasting connections with my clients. I am highly empathetic and strive to meet my clients with compassion and curiosity so that I may best understand their experience and join them where they are. I have been described as gentle, empathetic, and kind.
