my approach

My approach is highly integrative, relational, and depth-focused. This means that I collaborate with clients and tailor my approach to their specific needs and goals, taking into account one’s mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I help my clients better understand their beliefs, patterns, and experiences—both conscious and unconscious— so that we can get things feeling better. When we make space for our full humanity to be known and held with compassion, meaningful shifts can occur.

I come to my work with openness, warmth, curiosity, and creativity, tending to each clients’ unique lived experience.

Life can be tough,

but you don’t have to go it alone.
