My Approach to Helping

My approach is collaborative, relational, and grounded. I integrate talk therapy with experiential techniques to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, creative blocks, burnout, identity questions, chronic illness, and major life changes. As someone who’s lived in both the punk/creative world and the structured world of leadership, I understand what it’s like to hold multiple identities at once. I help clients untangle patterns, reconnect with their strengths, and build a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.

My Values as a Therapist

My work is rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and deep respect for the full range of human experience. I believe therapy is most transformative when the connection is real—when there’s trust, collaboration, and space for your whole self to show up. I value honesty, nuance, and the courage it takes to explore the parts of ourselves we’ve had to hide or minimize. I don’t view people through a lens of pathology. Many struggles are understandable responses to stress, systems, and lived experience. I hold space with steadiness and compassion, honoring both your resilience and your vulnerability. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel met rather than managed, supported rather than judged, and understood rather than reduced to symptoms. My goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and more connected to who you truly are.
