Hello! If you decide to work with me, one of the first things I’ll ask is what you hope to get out of therapy. It’s ok if you’re not sure of the answer right away, but it is an important question to consider! I’m a certified Gestalt therapist, which means that *my* goal is to help you build awareness of what’s going on with you in the moment, as well as understanding that you have more options available than you may think.

I love going on this journey with clients and watching the process of self-development that can naturally unfold when you take the time (and get the support you need) to really explore your own wants and needs, challenges and strengths. Professor Irvin Yalom says “I believe that a different therapy must be constructed for each patient because each has a unique story.”  Those are words that inspire me and guide my approach, and whether that will look more like traditional talk therapy, mindfulness and movement, creative play or talking about what we’ve read recently is mostly up to you.

I’m also sympathetic to clients who have concerns about the medical system, institutional power structures and self-determination. My approach is feminist, LGBTQ- and ENM-affirming and culturally responsive. I’m always happy to discuss any concerns openly so we can do our best to create a relationship that feels supportive, transparent, and personally empowering.
