My approach to Therapy

I strongly believe that therapy is co-created between client and therapist. While I am trained in the process of counseling, the client is the expert in their own experiences. I believe that the combining of this expertise is what creates meaningful therapy and lasting change. 

I am passionate about creating an environment where my clients feel safe to be their most authentic self and know that their experiences are truly heard. Therapy can already be such an intimidating and overwhelming undertaking – so I strive to show cultural humility and provide a non-judgmental space where we can focus on the true issues at hand.

The foundation of my approach is Person-Centered Therapy — which involves putting high importance on building a trusting, understanding and safe therapeutic relationship and empowering the client to finding their own answers in the way that feels most natural to them. I also have experience with various evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), The Gottman Method (Level 2), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy and Non-Violent Communication (NVC). Ultimately though, I believe that the best therapy is tailored to a clients unique needs and I am happy to work to the best of my abilities to give my clients the therapy experience they are looking for.

I think that there is nothing more powerful than being able to set down the masks we make for ourselves and be comfortable with our identity in its most authentic form. Whether our problems feel big or small they are our own – and everyone deserves someone in their corner. I just happen to be trained in ways to empower you to work through issues and make decisions in the ways that feel the most helpful and authentic to you. 

Life is strange and uncertain, filled with the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I believe that no one should have to walk this path alone, and I would be happy to come along.

My therapy space is dedicated to being BIPOC, LGBTQ, Kink, and Ethical Non-Monogamy/Polyamory friendly.
