About
I enjoy working with teen and adult individuals from all walks of life, but feel particularly drawn to walking alongside clients on a journey of empowerment and liberation from oppressive and unhealthy relationships and/or systems. I believe that the most healing part of therapy is the co-created space and relationship between clinician and client. My work is trauma-informed, and I practice from a stance of authenticity, acceptance, and warmth. I have a blended approach, regularly drawing from theories such as client-centered, CBT, narrative, attachment and social learning, transactional analysis, and restorative/embodied practices.
With over 5 years experience in community mental health plus the past 4 years in private practice, I have worked with individuals experiencing a wide range of stressors and diagnoses from anxiety, depression, and PTSD, to issues associated with experiences of childhood and/or religious abuse, as well as issues around sexual orientation and gender identity.
We have all experienced stressors and symptoms from time to time which may have overwhelmed our ability to respond in a balanced, healthy manner. My hope is that in our work together, you are able to strengthen your resilience, confidence, and skills to live your life to the fullest, long after our last session.
