I approach therapy from a place of deep and non-judgmental curiosity, seeking to explore and understand each client's unique experiences, strengths, identities, and challenges. My therapeutic practice is based on the feminist relational model, which shapes my two core beliefs about therapy. The first is that clients have the tools they need to heal and my job is to partner with them and empower them to learn how to use those tools. The second is that the unique relationship between therapist and client can provide an enormous source of healing and growth. I also draw from Internal Family Systems concepts to help clients understand how they were shaped by their trauma, how different strengths and strategies allowed them to survive, and how those strategies might change to better fit the lives they are now living.
