I take a gentle, collaborative approach to counseling. I meet you where you are and honor your
unique history, patterns/trauma, identities, interests, and desires. My style is strengths-based
and person-centered, meaning I view you as the expert on your life experiences and support you
in receiving what you need from therapy. As we explore what brings you here, I will accompany
you with openness and non-judgment (and humor when appropriate!). I place a lot of emphasis
on building a therapeutic relationship, striving for equality, and welcoming the
examination of any cultural or identity-based differences between us that may impact our work
together. I acknowledge that we each hold a unique worldview, and I encourage exploration of
how things like privilege and/or oppression impact the way you show up in the world. I also offer
body-awareness techniques to address what is happening somatically for you during sessions and am trained in using the arts to help pull us deeper into a topic if you feel comfortable exploring a creative space together.
