In a life led by courage, it is possible to grow and thrive instead of simply survive.
I use a personable, empathetic, active and engaging approach in therapy to help you make the positive changes you are seeking for your life, your relationship, or in your recovery from trauma or an eating disorder. I believe that the foundation for change in therapy comes from a felt sense of safety for clients in their work with a therapist, and I work to create a safe and collaborative environment in therapy through the energy and approach in which I work with clients as well as with a continuing dedication to professional development through ongoing training and learning. I honor the vulnerability that this work requires of the people who come to see me, and I believe that it is through accessing vulnerability that change happens, so I work to honor and safely hold that vulnerability with you so that you can explore your inner world and relationships with support from me and growing curiosity within yourself for the "hard parts" within our selves and within relationships that can feel challenging to explore.
My hope for you is to experience more peace of mind in your day to day life and feel happier and more connected in your relationships. It is possible to change not only the way in which you experience yourself and the world around you but also in relationship.
