Personal Statement

Life would be so much easier without uncomfortable feelings, painful experiences, and inner turmoil, but here we are. As humans, we are the universe getting to know itself, in all our joy and pain. In my practice, I aim to accompany you, using a trauma-informed lens, on your journey inward. I believe each of us has so much to learn and teach from our experiences and perspectives if we can give ourselves the space and self-compassion to process them. As your therapist, I join you in taking a step back from the day-to-day “being” of your life to understand how you’ve been shaped and to develop the skills to live the life you want.

My background involves work with LGBTQ+ and heterosexual folks, with people exploring their gender and sexuality, life transitions, and professional satisfaction. I have experience providing therapy on topics relating to relationships, family dynamics, and spirituality.

I aim to hear from all parts of you - in all their beautiful messiness - in a nonjudgmental, compassionate space that we co-create for you to grow and thrive. We start where you are and work from there, incorporating the impact of macro social structures on your wellbeing, finding meaning in your experiences, and experimenting with behavior.
