Underneath all of the modalities and approaches, a relationship that feels genuine, non-judgmental, and supportive creates a space where you can feel free to express yourself – a relationship where healing can happen. I find this is a great place to start when seeking a therapist to collaborate with in this deep, transformative work.
My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic (considering how the past and unconscious impact the present), relational (our relationship as the foundation of therapy), somatic (how your feelings are experienced in your body), and contextual (your personal circumstances are not separate from the systems you live in).
My work is grounded in depth psychology, meaning we'll focus on the source of your pain instead of just managing daily symptoms. Together, we'll look past temporary fixes to build long-term healing.
I have a Master’s in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies.
My style is warm and patient, collaborative and engaged – I will ask you questions aimed at helping you know yourself better and also share what I notice and feel as a way to encourage and advocate for deeper self-understanding. I believe this awareness is the foundation of acceptance and change.
