If curiosity and self-exploration interest you, we may be an exceptional fit. My approach to the art of psychotherapy is anchored in deconstructing, reconstructing, and reimagining the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Whether the pain you’re feeling is sadness, the aftermath of traumatic experiences, anxiousness, difficulty in relationships, patterns of self-harm, or thoughts of suicide, psychotherapy can be a conduit for healing and discovery. I work especially well with creative minds and those interested in existential exploration, meaning-making, and movement towards greater authenticity.
I am an experiential therapist with an existential and attachment-focused framework in practice. I have expertise in religious trauma, spiritual violence, and systemic (institutional, cultural, transgenerational) traumas. My areas of specialization in practice center on shame-based complex trauma including cult and conversion therapy experiences.
Harville Hendrix wrote, "We are born in relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we can be healed in relationship." This is my philosophy in practice. I am deeply human— and I’ve always found that common thread to be valuable, authentic means of building meaningful relationships with the clients I'm privileged to sit with.
