PHILOSOPHY

I believe we heal when our relationships allow us to be our entire, authentic self. I like to help clients understand and enhance their relationships by exploring the emotions and relational patterns that emerge during sessions. I believe emotions highlight what is important to us, point to what we need, provide meaning in our lives, and shape how we understand ourselves and our relationships. By identifying and expressing our feelings, we can break free from patterns that no longer serve us, improve our interpersonal skills, and build relationships in which we can heal.

THERAPY WITH ME

Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and often grounded in humor. Clients have observed that I am kind, informal, and direct. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives. In a successful therapeutic relationship, clients and clinicians work together to discover the changes that help clients best align with their values. I believe all healthy relationships are rooted in trust and consent, and I work to make clients at all stages of their healing feel welcome, supported, and seen.
