About My Clients

What brings each person to therapy is unique. However, the desire is often the same: to move more confidently, authentically, and securely through this moment. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, or relational issues, I am eager to join you on your journey.

My Background and Approach

I am a deeply humanistic practitioner, which means I believe real growth happens when our nervous system feels safe and supported in a space of authenticity, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. I strive to create this kind of compassionate environment in every session. Alongside this foundational approach, I tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs, integrating modalities such as CBT, IFS, ACT, and Existential therapy. I provide specialized counseling to individuals recovering from religious trauma and abuse.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

For many of us, the world is feeling increasingly threatening and anxiety provoking. I believe safety is cultivated through community and connection. A reason I am passionate about the practice of therapy is that it is a unique and sacred way to reconnect with all parts of ourselves.
