my approach

You might find yourself considering therapy because you are: experiencing problems in relationships, working to manage overwhelming emotions, contending against systemic inequality, and/or navigating loss, burnout, or life changes. You might find yourself feeling that a part of you is stuck, or you may be driven by a motivation to understand yourself better. It’s likely that more than one of these circumstances sounds familiar.

Therapy with me provides a supportive environment to explore and gain greater awareness of these essential life experiences.

it’s all about the process.

Therapy is a collaborative, brave, and generative process. Engaging in a psychotherapeutic process is giving one’s self the gift of space: space to look more closely at all parts of self and move more deeply into this human experience. When we build awareness of our inner lives and the outside influences that have shaped us, we grant ourselves the ability to regulate and change patterns, behaviors, and our view of self.

A key element of our work will be to explore, together, the roles you play in your own life. (If you can’t see the roles, it’s very difficult to change them!) I will strive to share my understandings of our process, and to do the therapeutic work with you that will be most useful in your lived life. It is my hope that, through earnest mutual engagement, our process will bring you a stronger sense of who you are; more wholeheartedness in your relating with self and others; and greater intention in your forward movement.
