Central to my work is the belief that beyond the pain and difficulties we go through, there is always a spark of hope, as well as untapped strengths and resilience within each of us. I think it can guide our work together.

Therapeutic Style
My approach is integrative, shaped collaboratively with each client around their needs and preferences. At its core is a humanistic and experiential orientation, one that values the quality of the relationship we build together, and our shared capacity to experience a full range of emotions in the here-and-now of therapy. I also draw on psychodynamic insight, exploring how the unconscious shapes the way we relate to others and experience emotion in the present.
You can count on me to show up as a warm, affirming presence as we explore the complexity and the richness of what it means to be human. I love drawing on metaphors and imagery from popular culture, literature, mythology, and religious traditions to help illuminate the process of transformation.
