"When we protect ourselves so we won't feel pain, that protection becomes like armor that imprisons the softness of the heart". In therapy, rather than avoiding pain, we learn how to hold space for it. Therapy is a space to slow down, to be present and to fully connect to ourselves and our experiences. When we connect directly to our experiences, we create space to foster emotional growth, gain insight and move toward healing.
I am an LGBTQ+ affirming and kink-aware therapist. I believe in developing a strong therapeutic relationship, promoting authenticity and honoring each client's intuitive sense of what they need. My therapeutic style is warm, interactive and compassion-focused. I show up for my clients and promote their intrinsic ability to show up for themselves.
My experience includes working with clients struggling with issues surrounding identity development, anxiety, depression, sexuality, self-esteem, relationships, grief and adjusting to life transitions. Central to my practice, is a strong focus on grounding and mindfulness. Additionally, I have achieved Level 1 and Level 2 in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
