Hello and welcome. Sometimes reaching for help is the bravest move you can make. My intention as a therapist is to create a therapeutic space that is engaging, non-judgmental and safe. My clinical practice is informed by Attachment Theory and I am trained in Narrative, Emotionally Focused, Solutions Focused and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). I often integrate elements of these therapy models to meet the unique needs of each individual client.

I am a diversity affirming therapist and see my role as a collaborative guide who facilitates conversations that honor your experience and ability to overcome problems. Therapy can serve to provide fresh perspectives, highlight existing strengths and open us up to learning new ways to live healthier, fuller lives that are in congruence with our core values and preferred ways of being.

I engage my clients in compassionate inquiry and gently nudge them into directions that may be helpful within a positive and warm therapeutic experience. Sometimes the messages we all receive from society and culture can be examined and clients may find that they have been living within narrowly defined constructs that can be reconsidered moving forward. Mindfulness, gratitude and self-compassion practices are woven into all my sessions. My work with clients affirms my understanding that we are all complex, resilient beings who can and do change, given the right contexts and conditions.
