My communication style

Because I view our time together as Sacred, it is important that I provide a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental, calm presence that allows clients to safely explore wounds. I believe in the power of presence and the importance of being my Authentic Self; as such, I am relatable, non-directive, and enjoy using humor and creativity in my practice.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a psychotherapist as a result of my journey as a wounded healer. When I was 24, I experienced a major loss that resulted in years of psychospiritual suffering. I was pushed to seek therapy, where I learned that wounds have the potential to transform into a source of empathy and wisdom; every challenge is an opportunity for growth.

My goals for you

Clients reach their goals by first learning how to cultivate self-compassion, inner wisdom, and acceptance as the foundation for their resilience. In this process, clients (re)connect with what they find most meaningful and use these personal values as their compass for change.

Our first session

During the first session, I like to start by reviewing confidentiality, as this forms the basis of trust. From there, I will ask questions to get to know you, your history, and what brings you to therapy. Every question I ask is an invitation, and as such, it is up to you to share how much/little you feel comfortable disclosing.
