“There is only one life you can call your own, and a thousand others you can call by any name you like.”

David Whyte

The Therapeutic Process

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and welcome anyone who finds themselves at a threshold—ready for change, reckoning, or healing.

While clinical assessment and tools are part of therapy, I know you’re likely here for more personal reasons: confusion, shame, exhaustion, transition, a sense that something needs to shift or be addressed. I believe that through our deepest moments of pain, we can find pathways to wholeness again.

Wholeness, in my mind, is not about fixing things that are broken, but about a growing relationship with all parts of yourself. It is learning to see yourself clearly enough to recognize the life that is asking to be lived through you. It is discovering that healing was never meant to end with you. It gives you the freedom to love more deeply, create more freely, and offer your life to a story larger than yourself.

While I utilize a blend of different clinical approaches, I ultimately believe that our earliest relationships and experiences profoundly shape who we are and how we show up as adults. Because I believe that people are often the source of our deepest wounds, I also believe that healing happens in genuine connection with another, knee-to-knee. In therapy, we often wrestle with difficult questions and we slow down enough to listen to what is asking to be felt in your life; almost always, there is unresolved hurt, pain and loss that is asking to be witnessed. Pain indeed wakes us up, but it is our desire for goodness that calls us forward. I believe that finding a safe enough space where someone can witness the harm of our story with understanding, self-compassion and vulnerability is part of that transformative call forward.

In our work together I strive to bring my whole person, inviting you to turn toward your story and your life, and to ask what you most deeply and honestly long for. I will always offer you a blend of kindness, curiosity, challenge and clinical insight along the way.
