What working with me is like

I strive to cultivate a safe and open environment in which to explore each client’s experience with curiosity and compassion. I support each client’s goals and desire for meaningful change through a collaborative and nonjudgmental approach. With clients, I will strive to work towards genuine growth and self-understanding about the past and present while strengthening relationships and coping skills.

Important about me

I strive to bring my authentic self into each session and will continue encouraging you to be you. I believe the therapeutic relationship can be a vehicle for healing and I invite honest feedback about our work together. I'm attentive to the nuances of identity and committed to integrating a social justice approach.
