I imagine many of us can identify with what it is like to dismiss our painful emotions or tuck away our undesirable experiences. To carry the weight of past wounds or endure distressing concerns about the future. However your heart may ache, you have arrived here to what I would hope you can consider as an invitation. An invitation to enter a process of healing, empowerment, growth and becoming.
My practice often focuses on work with individuals navigating their 20's-30's, male psychology, and anyone looking to explore identity. I believe that the foundation of my work with clients in therapy is based in offering them a relationship in which they can feel genuinely safe to trust that they can be seen and understood. I've worked in a variety of clinical settings and with diverse client populations which has highlighted my strength in my humanistic, relational approach toward inviting clients into the healing work that awaits them. I am often working from a psychodynamic and feminist lens to conceptualize and hold space for the “whole person” and their various intersectional identities, though I usually tend to bring our work back to the here and now, through a warm, yet direct approach, as we move toward further insight and mindfulness. It is a passion of mine to work with client's exploring their values and identity as they learn how to engage life in the most congruent way for them. This is often what comes up in my work with navigating 20's and 30's and at times even more specifically with my work with men as we explore intimacy, masculinity, and self-esteem. I also find myself passionate about my work with attachment and relationships, inner-child processing, as well as understanding family system dynamics and role expectations. Through therapy and our therapeutic relationship, it is my hope that client's will build insight and skills around how to engage themselves with more acceptance and compassion.
