about me + my philosophy
As your therapist, my hope is for you to feel safe, seen, and accepted for exactly who you are and where you’re at in your therapy journey.
In our work, I hope we can create a supportive and empathic space committed to sharing, growing, crying and laughing together. I will celebrate your strength to feel it all and be a safe home base for you to do this work alongside.
Ultimately, I view therapy as a process of moving collaboratively towards healing and transformation, however you define that for yourself.
I believe that mental health is impacted greatly by the systems of oppression at play in our society. Together, I hope we can explore your intersecting identities and the impact that societal prejudices, stigmas, and privileges have had on your experience.
My work is rooted in the belief that our attachments/relationships with others are incredible vessels for healing - and often the cause of our pain - and that effective trauma therapy should focus on allowing your nervous system to fully process the memories, emotions, and sensations that are stuck in your body. As your therapist, I’ll be in your corner, honoring your body's capacity to feel while guiding your nervous system toward healing.
outside of the office,
you can expect to find me hiking, skiing, and spending time with the people I love. I love cuddling up and watching movies, playing card games, or trying a new restaurant. My hope for this upcoming year is that I get the chance to travel more and adopt a dog.
