First Things First

I recognize that while all living beings are connected in some way, each person brings with them unique experiences and knowledge that has led us to this present moment together. I aim to understand you as your own individual in order to support you in building a life that you find meaningful and worth living. Together, we will consider how different aspects of your identity interact with each other and your environment in order to figure out effective ways to reach your goals.

What To Expect From Our Work Together 

My therapeutic style is warm and authentic – it’s important that you know you are being heard and seen by another person who genuinely cares. Through collaboration and trust, I provide a non-judgmental space that is safe for you to explore your own thoughts, actions and emotions. Safe doesn’t always mean comfortable, so at times I may challenge you to embrace the discomfort of feeling your feelings, and I will be right there with you along the way. 

My DBT-Informed approach offers much flexibility based on your needs and goals. You can expect me to gently nudge you towards holding multiple truths at the same time in the same space, as oftentimes our beliefs about what is “right”, “wrong”, “good”, or “bad” can cause ourselves a lot of suffering. Whether you are looking to change your habits, improve your relationships, be understood, or anything in-between, I’m so grateful to support you on your own journey.
