The Power of Connection and Understanding
I believe that we all have an inherent need to feel connected, seen, and understood and that is often where the growth, relief, and healing begins. My clinical work is based on a dynamic and relational approach that works collaboratively with clients to gain an understanding of how early experiences underlie behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and explore ways to connect with others.
My approach is grounded in a social justice, sex-positive, and anti-oppressive lens, that posits an understanding of how systems of power and privilege manifest in individuals’ lives and impact individuals' ability to heal. I help adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions, including job loss, marriage, becoming a parent, divorce, and infidelity. I offer a warm, collaborative, insight-oriented approach that helps clients understand patterns, improve relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I know that seeking mental health services can be a scary experience, which is why I work to create a safe, emphatic, and genuine therapeutic space for clients. I am happy to schedule a phone consultation to answer any questions you may have regarding my approach or about therapy. Please do not hesitate to reach out and I look forward to hearing from you.
