About My Clients
I work well with adults seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences. You may be navigating questions of identity, relationship challenges, or life transitions, or simply feeling a desire to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Perhaps you notice familiar patterns in your relationships or find yourself wanting to understand the deeper roots of your experiences. I appreciate working with people who are open to curiosity, reflection, and being gently challenged.
My Background and Approach
My clinical background includes university counseling and substance use treatment, with experience working with trans and queer individuals. I value creating an affirming space where people can explore their identities and experiences openly. My approach is relational and psychodynamic. I'm interested in the patterns we develop, the relationships that shape us, and the experiences that influence how we move through the world. I value depth-oriented, longer-term therapy that makes room for insight and meaningful change. I bring warmth, openness, and humor to my work. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, while also knowing I'll ask thoughtful questions and challenge you when helpful. I believe therapy can hold difficult conversations, unexpected insights, and moments of laughter. I offer a consistent, boundaried space where the focus remains on you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone deserves dignity, freedom, and the opportunity to build a life that feels meaningful and authentic to them. I value human rights, individual autonomy, and the importance of creating a world where people can live openly and safely. As a white woman, I recognize the privilege I carry and view cultural humility, continued learning, and self-reflection as important ongoing responsibilities. Outside of my work, I find meaning in community and connection. I enjoy hosting, cooking, and finding ways to bring people together. I also have a longstanding interest in service, including past experience providing suicide support in an emergency room setting. I'm currently training my dog with the hope of eventually volunteering together in retirement communities and other community spaces. I believe small acts of care and connection can make a meaningful difference.
