My Approach

 As humans, we are innately relational. We are born into cultures, communities, and families that have their own unique set of values, expectations, and of course behaviors. 
Our development is molded by these aspects, and therefore shapes us into the people we are today. 
However, as we grow, we may come to find that many of the aspects of our conditioning haven't always had a particularly helpful or healthy result and may not fit with how we desire to be present in our lives.

Perhaps we may feel stuck in addictive or compulsive behaviors, negative thought patterns, and difficult relational dynamics that feel somewhat immovable and at times completely overwhelming.
And it's often difficult to know where to start, to make the changes we desire. 

My goal in therapy is to help highlight and explore these many aspects of our lives: the stories of our early and present lives, our relationships, and how we make sense of the world. I believe as we return to these early experiences and bring compassion, understanding, and challenge to ourselves, we can access the possibility of change.  

My goal is to make you feel that all the parts of who you are, are welcome.

I offer a non-pathologizing, collaborative approach, working at the client(s) pace, while being attentive to cultural and personal differences.
