At its core, I believe therapy to be about cultivating space where change can occur. People come to therapy for a variety of reasons—seeking support and healing, desiring change, looking for relief from pain. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a safe-enough space for you to explore what brought you here, to listen well and to offer a supportive, non-judgmental presence. This is a collaborative work — we’ll look at how you landed here, in an effort to find new ways of being that may be kinder to yourself and more congruent with a whole and healthy life. My therapeutic approach is rooted in trauma-informed relational psychotherapy. I am interested in the characters, key moments, cultural systems, social constructs, ideologies and relationships that have shaped you. I work with adults and adolescents around issues of anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, trauma, and attachment. Asking for help is one of the kindest and bravest things you can do for yourself.
