Speaking from personal experience, I believe deeply in people’s capacity to heal, grow + change (and neuroscience would agree with me!) With compassion, empathy, + a good sense of humor, I’ve worked with work folks from many different backgrounds and life circumstances who desire more fulfilling lives. Suffering is guaranteed in this life, + it is so easy to get stuck in it. I have seen that addressing these painful parts inside within a safe therapeutic relationship is what leads us to healing. I help you get there by focusing on both the mind and body together. As a social worker by training, I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all people, and work with an intersectional framework to address both individual and societal barriers to healing and justice. Therapy with me is warm, empowering, and relational as we work together to help you come home to yourself.
