About

I operate under the belief that every person has a hard-wired core desire to be seen and heard, accepted and loved for who they are. Much of the dysfunction and dis-ease we experience in life is a result of this need not being met. Our sessions are a place to start repairing and healing that. I strive to build a relationship with my clients based on the foundations of curiosity and empathy in a collaborative setting that is goal-oriented, but also makes them feel relaxed and at ease, where their true self can be seen and feel accepted. My overarching hope for clients is that through therapy they would understand and believe they have inherent worth and value as human beings, apart from what they do, what they have, or what other people think and say about them. My clinical perspective is trauma informed, meaning that adverse life experiences shape who we are today and the beliefs we carry around about ourselves, others, and the world. When unaddressed, we often find ourselves stuck.
