MY PHILOSOPHY

​

Each one of us is in a constant state of evolution. As we live out our personal stories, we will inevitably experience phases of contentment and joy, turmoil and darkness, and all that exists in between. Nurturing our spirit and emotional wellbeing allows us to expand our capacity for self-reflection, self-awareness, and meaning-making, thereby paving the way for living a more authentic and fulfilling life. 

​

The decision to enter therapy takes a great deal of courage and vulnerability, and also indicates that you have arrived to a place of recognizing that you do not have to be alone. Particularly during periods of great struggle, we can feel isolated and directionless in our experience and not where to turn or what to do. We are relational beings who are inherently designed to share our experiences—from celebration and sorrow—in connection with others. As a human, I understand suffering. As a therapist, my intention is to honor every part of your humanness and walk alongside you in a manner that helps illuminate your inner resources so that you experience an enhanced sense of empowerment, skillfulness, and joyful living.
