Approach

I believe that the therapeutic process is about attunement and connection. My style is curious, non-judgemental, and empathetic. I believe that a personalized, supportive approach builds the trust and intimacy necessary for change to occur. I utilize a psychodynamic perspective which means I like to collaborate with the client in an exploration of their history to better understand current issues. I believe that we are complex beings and that the path to healing is not one size fits all. I am passionate about viewing the individual holistically and find great joy in helping my clients discover new connections in their lives. I am enthusiastic about intersubjectivity, which involves exploring how the unconscious plays out within the therapeutic relationship. My work is trauma informed and I am a trained EMDR therapist. Within our exploration together, your sense of safety and boundaries guide the process and no topic is off limits. I want my clients to feel encouraged to find their own unique means toward empowerment. I hope to provide an affirmative and healing environment for my clients to feel inspired to open up into themselves.
