“We are wounded in relationship and we are healed in relationship.” That is the crux of the work we do in therapy. I believe first and foremost that the relationship between therapist and client is sacred, and is the most important element of the therapy process. It is important to me that you feel safe, valued, heard, and supported throughout our time together. My role is to support you, listen proactively, encourage you to know yourself and learn more, as well as to challenge and meet barriers with gentle persistence. I start with the assumption that everyone is doing their best, and that positive change is always possible.

I work from an Attachment and Systems perspective. This means I believe our attachments and connections, and the way we build and strengthen those, are the foundation not only of our relationships, but also to the way we move in the world. I keep in mind that each person is a part of a whole, meaning we develop stories, histories, patterns, hurts, and strengths in relation to others.

I use an integrative model of various therapy modalities including Narrative (the stories we tell about ourselves and our experiences), Internal Family Systems (how the parts of ourselves interact with each other), Emotionally Focused Therapy (problem-solving our patterns and interactions), and Brainspotting (deep healing through brain-body processing) as I help clients move through struggles and work toward their personal goals.
