WILL WE BE A GOOD FIT?
Every experience of therapy is different, and it's vital that you work with a therapist who's a good fit for you.
Here's a little about working with me:
The therapy process will be guided by your agenda and by my confidence in your capacity to change. I believe deeply in the value of creativity, humor, humility and personal responsibility; these come through in my approach to the psychotherapy relationship. I also believe that the work of a therapist evolves only as much as the therapist herself keeps evolving; consistent with this, I am continuously engaged in my own clinical training and personal development. One of the things I value most about being a therapist is that the work constantly pushes me to keep learning and growing - as a therapist and as a person.
The way I work takes the whole person into consideration - not just the 'symptoms' or 'problems' - and the spheres in which life is lived: mind, heart, body, spirit, family, community and culture. I use an individualized and integrated approach, driven by you and the relationship we develop, not by diagnosis or strict technique.
​
My goal is to help you identify and capitalize on opportunities for growth, allowing you to find freedom from what's holding you back and to fill your life with what really matters to you.
