All of you is welcome here

Now that you know a bit about me, what does that mean in our work together? Well, that looks different with each client. 

Numerous studies have found that the most reliable predictor of therapeutic change across orientations is the relationship between the client and therapist (Flückiger, Del Re, Wampold, & Horvath, 2018). I take this to heart and am committed to showing up as a human in the room—accompanying you on your journey to wholeness, whatever that means to YOU. My job, as I see it, is a professional relationship builder. I hold the belief that within each of us, there is an innate tendency towards growth - that beyond our wounding, our trauma, our beliefs, and our shame, there is a part of us that knows wholeness, a part of us that has never been wounded, waiting to come forward given the right environment. I see and wholeheartedly trust in that part.

In other words, I trust in you.

That said, I certainly believe in the efficacy of theory and modalities and draw upon them in sessions. I have extensive training in Somatic Psychology, Gestalt, Integral Counseling, mindfulness, and trauma-informed techniques. I am inspired by humanistic, transpersonal, existential, experiential, and relational approaches.
