PHILOSOPHY

Therapy is for everyone! I believe that we can all benefit from taking the time to reflect on the ways we interact with others and the world. I use a trauma-informed and client-centered approach to provide a non-judgmental space for you to share and process your thoughts and feelings. I invite clients to be curious about how they respond to situations and events and whether these responses are helping them get where they want to be going.

THERAPY WITH ME

I am compassionate, warm, and patient. In the beginning of our work together, we will establish the therapeutic relationship: the emotional safety and trust that lays the groundwork for therapy. As we get to know each other, we will work collaboratively to identify your goals for therapy. Together, we will look at changes you can make to get you closer to your goals. Sometimes, the therapy session will feel deeply transformative, other times it can feel like updates about your week or a work situation. Both are necessary in working towards your well being and healing, and I welcome both.
