“As a therapist, I aim to bring authenticity, understanding, care, and safety to our therapeutic relationship. Whether my presence offers itself as a guide or a witness, together we will build insight into your history, needs, and values to help you cultivate the life you want. When invited, and on equal footing, we will walk alongside one another on your path and together in our shared humanity.
Former clients have expressed an appreciation for my warm relational approach, level of engagement in session, commitment to collaborative care, and in finding a depth of work and growth they have been seeking.
