psychotherapist
I believe that the therapeutic relationship can be one of the most healing experiences in life. Through a warm and supportive approach, I aim to co-create a space that fosters honesty and softness. I view therapy as a means to slow down, to connect with our deepest selves, and to deconstruct and re-author the stories we tell ourselves. I embrace a willingness to not only be in the unknown, but to embrace the myriad of ways of knowing. My practice is eclectic, meaning that I draw upon many therapeutic approaches and theories.
As a therapist, I strive to create a space that feels safe to go deep. I have experience in crisis work and embrace a therapeutic lens that is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and attentive to social location.
Therapy is just one of many ways to move towards healing. My hope is that through this work you feel more connection with yourself, your relationships, and your community. I look forward to meeting you!
