“Be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves.” -Rilke

My Approach: Human to Human.

I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. In fact, I believe in meeting you exactly where you are at. Together, we will define a path that will take you in the direction you most value.  

In my experience, no one has their shit together all the time.

Not one person experiences a life without pain and there is no such thing as the perfect human being.  However, I do believe that everyone has the capacity to heal.  Within each of us lies a fountainhead of wisdom that we were born with.  As a therapist, I delight in helping you awaken that source so that it may guide you towards a rich and meaningful life.

Together, we will work side by side to uncover the strengths that already exists within you.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is formed through authentic connection and loving presence, and I strive to hold a safe space for curiosity and growth. As a therapist, I bring in my real self.  I am a direct, yet deeply caring and warm person who will accept you exactly as you are.  

The approach I take is that of cultivating a healing and safe relationship; one that allows you to show up as you and leave feeling emotionally held and respected.  

I work primarily with adults who experience shades of depression and anxiety, attachment wounds, and struggles around life transitions. I also work with adults that have experienced religious trauma and have lived experience of this having grown up Mormon myself. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I also hold space for those who have felt marginalized or “othered”. I have experience working with sex workers and offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space. I am also sex positive, poly friendly/aware, and kink friendly/aware.

As a human being, I know the pains of feeling different and unwelcome.  As a therapist, I know just how amazing and resilient we all are.  

This is the space where you can be seen without fear of ridicule.  Whether you are wondering who the hell you are, where you fit in, or how to manage difficult emotions, this is the space to gently rework what feels unworkable. 

Therapeutic Orientation:  

My therapeutic approach comes from a strengths based, humanistic, person centered approach, and I use mindful techniques. I also weave in attachment therapy, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and parts work (IFS).
