I believe healing and growth happen within relationships - through being seen, understood, challenged, and supported.

Whether you're reaching out for therapy, clinical supervision, or consultation: my hope is that you find a space where you can bring your full humanity without needing to perform, minimize, or have everything figured out.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and across multiple levels of care. My experiences, both personally and professionally, have shaped an open-minded, adaptive perspective that supports people in growing, healing, deepening their understanding of themselves, and creating lives that feel more authentic and aligned.

I practice from an integrative, relational lens: meaning there isn't a single modality or manual that guides my work, and I place significant emphasis on the safety, trust & connection of our human-to-human relationship. I draw from a range of evidence-informed theories and cross-cultural understandings of ‘healing’ to meet each individual, couple, or family where they are when they reach out for my support.

Rather than attempting (& failing) to comprehensively list each influential theory, modality, framework, person or group - I've highlighted just a few that continue to shape & inform my approach:

• Gabor Maté’s compassionate inquiry, attachment vs. authenticity, and honoring the adaptive ways we learn to survive.

• Trauma-informed and parts work approaches, heavily influenced by Dr. Judith Herman, Linda Gantt, & Richard Schwartz: understanding ‘symptoms’ as meaningful adaptations while fostering curiosity, integration, and self-compassion.

• Dan Siegel’s interpersonal neurobiology & fundamental interconnectedness: recognizing that our minds, brains, bodies, and relationships continually shape one another - individually & collectively.

• Liberation-oriented, psychodynamic, and systems theories: understanding people within the context of their relationships, environments, histories, and communities.

• Intersectional, cross-cultural practices: acknowledging many historical, indigenous, & ‘alternative’ healing practices that have only more recently been recognized or supported by contemporary psychology, neuroscience, and/or western medicine. Honoring & reintegrating principles that have long existed across cultures and communities - particularly in the enduring role of connection, belonging, and relationship in healing.

Ultimately, my goal is to cultivate spaces where people are not asked to become someone entirely different, but are supported in coming home to themselves: where clients and clinicians alike feel empowered to challenge their wounded, oppressive narratives, embrace authenticity, and engage with themselves and others in ways that are more compassionate, meaningful, and whole.
