My approach to therapy will help guide you to the life you want by exploring the obstacles you currently face. While I offer the deep gentleness and compassion that is part of who I am and is essential to the therapeutic process, I also pose questions and encourage exploration that may feel challenging at times. I am a firm believer that in order to make positive change in our lives, we must first fully acknowledge our current situation, coming to terms with what it is. And, as someone with lived experience of mental health challenges, I know firsthand that it takes hard work, persistence, and self-compassion to move through these challenges. I look forward to joining you on this journey of healing and creating the life you desire!

Approach Description: My approach is grounded in the humanistic tradition of Relational Gestalt Therapy, meaning that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance in the healing process. In other words, I am not a "blank slate" during therapy sessions. Two human being relating to each other relay emotion bidirectionally, and the therapeutic relationship is no different. Often emotions manifest in the body and I will encourage you to try to identify where you feel emotion in your body. I also draw from a variety of different approaches depending on the client's specific challenges.
