About My Clients

Therapy is different for everyone, which is why my approach is rooted in deep care and curiosity for the unique and ongoing stories we live out on a daily basis. I believe therapy works best when there is a foundation of respect for the individual processes and perspectives of my clients. Therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and calibrated to the needs of each client. It’s a time to experience the essence of listening, of feeling heard, within the setting of the therapeutic relationship.

My Background and Approach

My work is influenced by attachment, feminist, narrative, psychodynamic, and postmodern theories. My approach is anchored by a strength-based, affirmative stance that takes into consideration existential concerns. I believe therapy is as much about our present and future as it is about our past. Potential issues to be explored in therapy include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, the effects of social media on our lives, LGBTQ+ experiences, gender identity, individuation, and goal-setting.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Central to the exploration of any issue are the relationships we have with ourselves and with others. The therapeutic relationship fosters opportunities in which clients can discover and experience their relational dynamics and patterns in real time. Humor, warmth, and play are as much a part of the therapeutic process as the challenges we encounter when faced with moments of growth and exploration. I believe in respect and dignity for all, and I believe in the potential for change and growth we all embody. I'm here to help create the conditions to cultivate your strengths, hopes, and relationships while shining light upon the unique beauty that you bring to the world. Collective, collaborative, affirmative care are what I hope to share with you.
