Therapy is an opportunity for us to uncover a deeper understanding of ourselves so we can begin to find more ease and fulfillment in our day to day. It is about embracing that oftentimes there’s nothing to “fix”, and instead our task is to slow down, notice and then exercise self-compassion. I work with clients who are seeking a safe space to process in their own time recent and past trauma, challenging family and relationship dynamics, as well as clients who are exploring gender and sexual identity. I enjoy working with clients who this might be there first time seeking support from a therapist. I offer a warm, inviting, and collaborative approach to therapy. Using a relational and mindfulness-informed approach, I will meet you where you are at in navigating through difficult emotions, hard decisions, familial challenges, and life’s uncertainties. I appreciate moving slowly in therapy - establishing a relationship of trust and safety is crucial. .

My practice is grounded in the tenets of Narrative therapy:

Using narrative practices as a guide, we will work together to identify the challenges you face and the values and skills you already possess to move through them. Using mindfulness techniques, we will cultivate tangible practices to approach your situation from a non judgemental and curious place. Using these skills, my goal is that you will develop the new skills to cope with anxiety, depression, and other mental health symptoms. My greatest hope is that you feel empowered and well-equipped to honor your emotional experiences with compassion. 

 

Additionally, my work is informed by my own personal valuation and work in intersectionality, anti-racist practice, and utilizing a queer framework. Whether you’re touching these topics for the first time, or are seeking to deepen your exploration, I look forward to supporting you on your individual journey. ​

A special shout out to you! If you are reading this, welcome. Therapy can be scary, uncomfortable, and not the first thing you want to do after a long day of school with a big list of to-do’s sitting in your backpack. If we end up working together, I hope that our sessions will be an opportunity for YOU to just be YOU. Whether that means discussing difficult emotions, challenging relationships, or to be honest, that classic “friend group” drama, it’s all important. I want you to know that therapy doesn't look just ONE way. You get to decide what our space and time will be for you.
