About My Clients

I have experience working in a therapeutic school, on university campuses and with youth, adolescents, families, and individuals. I particularly enjoy supporting adolescents, young adults, mothers and women-identifying individuals as they desire to understand who they are and navigate the complex dynamics and emotions of high school, college, adulthood and parenthood. l believe therapy can be a powerful component towards wellness and liberation in individuals, families and society overall.

My Background and Approach

My work is grounded in relational psychodynamic therapy, attachment therapy and narrative therapy to name a few. I deeply enjoy the creative process and at times use art to facilitate reflection within sessions. However, you are central, not merely my approach, so together we will find unique ways to bring healing. From the beginning we'll work towards building a strong therapeutic relationship and I'll join you where you are at with curiosity and patience. Together we may begin to notice themes, patterns and ways of relating which no longer serve you. This is often a helpful start, leading to greater awareness, change and fulfillment.
