My Approach to Psychotherapy:

I believe that healing through therapy is a journey of self discovery, acceptance and compassion. I am here to join you on that journey and support you in learning to love yourself while we process and integrate your life experiences (whether it childhood trauma, sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, LGBTQ+ identity, addiction, sobriety, friendships, break ups, etc.). Together, we can identify the parts of the self that feel unseen, neglected, wounded or ashamed. I believe in learning to honor the more difficult feelings we experience while building up the self that has survived and yearns to thrive, feel free, confident and at peace.
