I understand my role as therapist to be a radically candid, curious and deeply human facilitator in your process. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and strive to offer collaboration, attuned exploration, and an open mind, rather than quick solutions to the complex issues that bring you to treatment.

The relationship between therapist and client is a scientifically proven asset to the treatment process. For this reason, it is important to me that we take this endeavor seriously— meaning, it may take a few sessions of fumbling, of “getting to know one another” to determine whether or not we are a good fit to work together.

I anticipate that our relationship will take time to grow, and will do so imperfectly, at that. Beside those “a-ha!” moments will surely be moments of humanity— silence, discomfort, and conflict. It’s all a part of it our experience. It is my hope that within our relationship permission to be fully human, not perfect.

In session, I strive to be mindful of both who we are, and how we show up with one another, in word, emotion, body and in silence. Often times, this takes the form offering curiosity towards syncronicities, our relationship, and the feeling in the room (or online!)

It is my sincerest hope that together, in therapy, we will hold your emotional experience with tenderness, revisit places of wounding together, reflect on the formative relationships in your life, and get curious about how these configurations inform your ways of moving and being in the world. We will offer attention your bodily experience, lend compassion and understanding to places of shame and wordlessness. It is my hope that by attending to what lies below the surface, that you discover a more honest, creative, and meaningful way of being.
