About My Clients

An ideal therapy client is someone who is open to self-reflection, willing to engage in the therapeutic process, and committed to personal growth. These clients may not have all the answers, but they show up consistently, are honest about their thoughts and feelings, and are open to exploring new perspectives. With that said, therapy is for everyone, not just "ideal" clients. Many people start therapy feeling resistant, unsure, or guarded, and that’s okay. Growth happens in different ways.

My Background and Approach

My goal is to create a secure, therapeutic relationship in which you can explore all parts of yourself, including your shame, anger, fear, joy, sexuality, identity, and longing. You are your own expert...you know yourself better than anyone. I want my clients to realize within their own minds, they have access to a world of techniques, which can be utilized to cope with difficult life experiences and make changes at the root and not just the surface. With a gentle, non-judgmental, and supportive approach, I hope to create a safe space for clients to express themselves and make room for realizations which will lead to positive life changes. I am deeply attuned, nurturing, curious, and playful. Therapy is about becoming fulfilled, engaged, happy, and connected to your self-worth. I take a holistic and individualized approach with each client. Client voice. Client choice.
