Are you feeling lost? Uninspired? Overwhelmed? Therapy doesn’t have to be the front-facing camera of how we see ourselves. By being honest and showing up, we can reposition that lens, adjust undesirable angles and tweek the lighting to help illuminate the qualities which make you, well…you. My approach to the therapeutic relationship is YOU centered. You should feel confident and comfortable in our working relationship so we can reflect and better prepare you to handle whatever global (or personal) crisis comes next. As a former performer, I treat the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration. I have an expansive view of the human spirit, relate to the pitfalls of human experience and possess a profound understanding of the disconnect which can occur between the stories we tell ourselves, and the realities we actually face. I have experience providing culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care to newly arrived immigrants and refugees and as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I connect deeply with creating safe space and bearing witness to the unique challenges we all face. I am committed to working with individuals within my own community, as well as adults who struggle with trauma associated with religious, educational and workplace abuse. While I utilize a strengths-based, humanistic approach, once we get to know one another, I will gladly call out distorted cognitive patterns and provide alternative perspectives. Let's work together to meet your goals, while expanding our world view on the path to wellness.
