What's My Approach to Therapy?

Thank you for learning more about my practice. It is my hope to help you feel safe, welcomed, and deeply listened to and understood. Whether you are individual seeking therapy or a couple looking to work on your relationship, we will focus on building uniquely attuned relationship(s) together to help you find eventual relief from your concerns and a deeper connection to authenticity. You will improve your self-awareness and insightfulness - skills essential to fully thrive. Diverse life experiences are beautiful. I purposefully see clients representing a variety of cultural, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds, sexual orientations, kink, relationship styles (monogomy and polyamory), and gender identities. My practice is and will always be LGBTQIA-affirming. Since every journey to wellness is unique, I do not utilize a one-size-fits-all approach, but collaborate with clients on how best we can work together. In a time so many of us are grappling with extra stress and many transitions, it is my hope to help you feel more connected to yourself and others, deeply understood, and supported. I offer a free phone consultation to help you decide if my practice may be a good fit for your concerns. Day and evening appointments available.

Theoretical Influences that Guide My Work

I am integrative and holistic in my approach to mental health and offer clients information on the mind-body connection; how we care and treat our bodies directly affects our mental health and how we feel emotionally directly affects how we feel physically. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, but work collaboratively with clients to establish the direction and pace of our work together.
