Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your concerns with me at your own pace and to whatever depth you are comfortable with. Through hearing your story, I will start to get a picture of what your challenges are and what approaches I bring that can help. We will establish what goals you would like to see happen with therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring an open, empathic non-judgmental presence to therapy. People who know me often say that I am a good listener who can sit with people at their worst and be present with them when they are in that space. I am generally quiet but I focus on being attuned, understanding how the pieces fit, and bringing you back to safety.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I feel that older adults (Gen X) will likely find it easy to relate to me. I am open to working with all adults, but my area of focus is adults who have had difficult childhoods with abuse, neglect and generational trauma. Recent traumatic birth experiences and pet loss and grief are another area of focus that I find adults need extra care and validation for.
