Therapy Style

I strive to work with you and your understanding of yourself, curating tools and approaches that will support you as we make space to explore and make sense of your experiences. I have a background in relational-psychodynamic and attachment perspectives, and training in a number of modalities such as CBT, DBT, and ACT.

Philosophy

I approach therapy with openness, curiosity, compassion, and non-judgement, building a space where it feels safe to explore and bring the whole of your experiences, joys and struggles alike. Throughout our lives, we learn to navigate the world in certain ways, helping us survive and make sense of things; our responses, beliefs, and patterns of relationships are shaped by past experiences. I work with you to better understand these experiences, and compassionately reflect on how your past informs current ways of being, acknowledging interpersonal and systemic influences.
