I am constantly honored and humbled by the ways that clients allow me into their experiences, share their stories with me, and trust me to keep them safe while they do difficult work. My therapeutic approach starts with a relationship based in affirmation and care, and follows the client’s lead as they explore their own histories, needs, and hopes. Most importantly, my work is guided by a deep respect for my clients, and the belief that everyone has within them the capacity to heal.
