About

I believe that all people have dignity, worth, and the right to live life in a way that brings them joy. Our ability to live joyfully can be disrupted by the experiences we encounter in our often fraught world (homophobia, sexism, violence, rejection). Such experiences cause suffering, and suffering left unaddressed limits our lives. Self-limiting thoughts and behaviors are adopted as a matter of necessity to get by, yet keep us from authenticity and happiness. The therapeutic relationship can heal and transform our life through understanding, validation, and sustained attention on our self and relationships. My approach is relational, dynamic, and trauma-informed. This means together we will establish a space where you feel safe and can explore your experiences. You will share your vision of what happiness looks like, and we will partner to make that a reality by challenging self-limiting beliefs, finding your creativity and practicing new ways of being.
