MY APPROACH

I approach the therapeutic connection from a place of deep curiosity, openness to sharing and learning, and with a sense of sacredness about the dual journey we embark upon. I have been told I’m kind, reassuring, empathic, patient and non-judgmental. Building trust and safety is at the forefront of my mind. To that end, you may find me tailoring my approach to make the virtual space more personally accessible based on your specific needs. You won’t find me pathologizing you through a medical model lens.

I constantly keep in mind the impact of minority stress (gender, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, neurotype, disability, religious or spiritual affiliation) and am open to discussing the intersectionality of these parts of your identity. I’ll work with you to make meaning of your experiences, thoughts and feelings.

I love to infuse humor along the way, celebrate your wins, and empower you to be in charge of the direction we take. I show my emotions - whether laughter, excitement, or tears, so you won’t be left wondering how I feel. I will be honest with you. I also adore learning and love to share relevant resources with my clients to enhance their learning experience, as desired. You are welcome to ask me any questions along the way. I very much view us as equal partners in this endeavor.
