About My Clients

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frequently avoiding uncomfortable thoughts and emotions? Wanting to avoid hard truths and painful feelings is natural, but when done repeatedly, it can restrict your life and get in the way of what matters most to you. My goal in therapy is to help you safely step out of avoidance and reconnect with yourself and the world around you.

My Background and Approach

The cornerstone of my therapeutic style is based on unconditional positive regard. We all need care, support, and acceptance irrespective of our life’s journey. I am committed to being fully present with you, believing you, and supporting you as we navigate your challenges together. Finding yourself at a low point does not have to define your day-to-day experience. Together, we will explore strategies to manage painful situations and relationships. My goal is to cultivate a safe and supportive environment for you to be your most authentic self and find the path that brings you fulfillment. I lean into a variety of therapeutic modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Relational, Humanistic, and Narrative therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that you are worthy of loving and being loved. The pain and trauma we have known in our life does not have to overshadow the joy that we can also experience. My early experiences of loss and suffering taught me to embrace life with all its joys and pains, and to appreciate the subtle nuances that shape our lived experiences. It’s not easy, but when someone can accompany us, we find our innermost strength and clarity. That is what I commit to you; to believe you, and listen to you. You are the expert of your life, and I am here to support you along the way.
