Therapist Overview
I believe, no matter how long a problem or pattern has existed, there is hope for change. Patterns in relationships can be transformed, and so can long-standing perceptions of yourself and your life. When change feels daunting, this is the moment a non-judgmental outside perspective can be helpful. I believe that therapy is a place where you can bring your entire self: your hopes, dreams, fears, traumas, pain, joy and shame. I work with you to make that space warm, compassionate, dynamic, and directed. My therapy style is an interactive dialogue, rather than silent or lecturing. Clients tell me I am an engaged, highly attuned and authentic-feeling therapist. I don’t assume to know your story, rather, I listen with depth, openness, proactivity, and empathy. Beyond this, I hold the hope that you may have lost. I hold the celebrations and complexities of your intersecting identities, and most importantly, I collaborate with you on a path towards your most authentic, grounded self.
