My Therapeutic Approach

Life is rich and complex, so I draw from different perspectives - weaving together analytical insight, intuition, spiritual wisdom, body awareness, and practical tools. I believe we all have the wisdom within us to navigate challenges, though sometimes we need support to reconnect with it. Your emotions serve as a compass, offering valuable messages about your needs and experiences. Through our work together, you'll develop deeper connections between your logical mind, emotional heart, and physical body - tapping into your natural capacity for growth and understanding.

Curious about what the therapeutic process and therapy sessions entail?

  • Centered on Your Needs: Sessions are focused on your needs. As your needs evolve, my approach adapts.

  • Goal-Oriented: In your initial assessment, we’ll collaboratively develop therapy goals so we’re clear on what you’re working towards.

  • Collaborative: The entire journey is a team effort! You and I will meet in the middle and work together.

  • Flexibly Structured: There is a structure to sessions so you know what to expect and how to prepare, but there is no preset agenda meaning I don’t tell you what to discuss. I empower and encourage my clients to bring their focus and intentions to each session.

  • Exploratory: I am curious by nature and trade. I’ll help you explore and investigate yourself—thoughts, feelings, needs, desires, fantasies, fears, beliefs, and behaviors—to deepen self-understanding.

  • Social Justice Oriented and Trauma-Informed: I recognize that there are systemic factors and inequalities that contribute to mental health challenges. We may discuss these challenges. We may explore the interconnected nature of identities, privilege, discrimination, community, and the impact of trauma on the psyche.

  • Feedback-Informed: Research shows that your relationship with your therapist, how you feel about them, is most important, which is why I like to ask my clients for feedback to ensure that it continues to feel like a good fit beyond the initial assessment.

  • Culturally Sensitive: Your identity and cultural background are important considerations in understanding your unique life story— I encourage open dialogue and exploration to honor your individuality.

  • Accessible: My practice is exclusively virtual. Sessions are conducted via the fully encrypted and confidential online platform TherapyNotes. If you prefer a telephone session, it can be arranged with the mutual understanding that I cannot guarantee the security of your telephone line.
