I believe that each of us holds within us an innate capacity for healing. Every person deserves to be met with curiosity, compassion, and the belief that healing is possible.
My approach is steady, non-judgmental, flexible, compassionate and grounded in a willingness to sit with people in difficult places. These include anxiety, depression, trauma, justice system involvement, systemic barriers, life transitions, relationship challenges, and experiences of shame or feeling misunderstood. We might focus on emotions, internal experiences, your story, identity, or the ways your past continues to show up in the present. I also pay attention to the broader context of your life, including relationships, systems, and lived experiences that shape how you move through the world.
My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based and experiential. I am currently training in EFT and Somatic Experiencing. During my practicum John Howard Society, I worked with adults involved in the justice system, many of whom were navigating complex trauma, addictions, and systemic barriers. That formative experience continues to inform my work.
If you’re considering working together, you’re welcome to reach out and we can talk to see if working together feels like a good fit.
