I know that a one-size-fits-all approach does not truly fit anyone.
My work is firmly rooted in existential humanism, meaning that the search for meaning and self-realization is central to our work together. I believe that you are the expert on you and your experience and it is my great honor to walk with you on your path. The relationship that we will collaboratively build in session will aid you on your healing journey. I am skilled at creating a non-judgmental environment and accepting you where you are, no matter where that is, as we work to shine light on what once seemed too dark to face.
I know from experience as a client, and practitioner, that reaching out for help is one of the hardest parts of healing. I am ready to receive you with warmth and understanding, and I honor your courage in taking this first step.
Sometimes when we are suffering we feel alone. Let's work towards healing together.
After years of dedication to this phase of life, I have gained fluency in walking with teens through their transition into adulthood and helping them to access their inner wisdom.
