Philosophy of Care

I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where clients are the experts of their own lives. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and deeply compassionate — focusing on creating a safe space where clients feel understood and supported. Together, we will explore the unique aspects of your life that shape your story, to help you gain deeper insight into yourself.

In our sessions, I will draw from a strengths-based perspective and integrate systems theory to understand how the various elements of your life — relationships, environment, and internal experiences — interact and influence one another. I believe you have inherent wisdom, which I will help you tap into, harness, and incorporate into your life to bring forth desired change. Whether you're facing challenges or looking to grow, I'm here to help you find your way forward, in a way that feels right for you.

Some particular areas of focus for me include body liberation, identity formation, and navigating life transitions. I look forward to meeting with you and joining together on your journey of healing and growth.
