Who I am & How I Work
I love being a therapist. As a therapist I am deeply committed to learning and growing. It is an honor to engage with people in a relationship that changes their life. I have been practicing for over a decade now and have worked with a diversity of clients in a range of settings.
My focus in therapy is on relating and understanding relationship patterns, experiences, and beliefs as they showed up earlier on in life and how they manifest now even in the therapy relationship. It's intense. Mind blowing. And deeply satisfying. The relationship between myself and clients is very important: it feels safe for exploration and also nourishing. Moments of humor and imagination are a vital component of the therapeutic connection. Clients have experienced me as an advocate, direct, and attuned.
