My Approach to Helping

I am passionate about building meaningful therapeutic relationships - it is within relationships that healing and growth occur. Within the safety of therapy, you can more fully explore your patterns, come to understand factors that contributed to your development, and find a balance between accepting yourself and changing patterns that are not serving you anymore. I work to be attuned to the systems that impact us, such as, the social and cultural effects on our lives, as well as, exploring how your identities intersect and interact with your environment. My approach is eclectic and trauma-informed. I gravitate towards relational/interpersonal therapies which emphasize exploring patterns of relational disconnection and enhancing connection. My practice is focused on collaborating using a dialectical framework, which is about looking through a both/and lens to appreciate complexity, find more balance, and increase compassion towards ourselves and others.
