Therapy is a time to center your unique lived experience. I hope to partner with you to support a deeper curiosity and hold space for reflection. If desired, I can support your self-exploration of various generational, familial and socio-cultural frameworks and beliefs to understand the intersections and how it has impacted your relationships. Together, I hope to create a supportive space in which you can connect more with your needs and support you in advocating within your relationships.

I tend to integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches that accommodate your specific needs and goals. My approaches can include narrative, emotion-focused (EFT), acceptance and commitment (ACT), cognitive behavioral (CBT) and attachment-based therapies, as well as intersectional feminism, family systems, somatic and embodiment work. I believe most individuals benefit from an approach that is flexible, and attuned to their needs. I realize that my perspective can be different from yours, and so I will routinely seek your feedback in our process to keep myself and our process accountable to your perspective and goals for therapy.

I believe there are significant benefits to individual therapy and couple and family therapy. The power of self-reflection in an intimate trusted space can yield deep self-understanding and sense-making of our lives and relationships. Couple and family therapy sessions can also support a shared reflection and understanding of varying perspectives among partners and family members who have struggled to connect and communicate. Couple and family therapy can often yield a powerful relational change when members can share the therapeutic space together. I believe when we work together to build a safe and trusted space, amidst our relational wounds and communication struggles, we can repair and strengthen those connections and attachments.
