In addition to my Master’s degree, I hold Bachelor’s Degrees in Art Therapy and Psychology with a minor in Environmental Studies. I operate from a Relational Cultural Therapy lens with foundations in Person Centered Therapy and Feminist Theory. I practice with mutual impact in mind; a striving towards ever increasing capacity for respect, and the outlook and willingness to have autonomy, while holding openness to being challenged by the other. Therapy is your journey; it is not something done to you – in working with me, you will be invited to make your own interpretations; I will be an educated, curious, kind, and attentive guide. I understand that our voice feels small at times, that life circumstances beat us down, which allows stress to build. I hope to travel through the challenges together, so you have the skills to seek, notice, and create wellness. When you practice play, expression, and embodied regulation in a safe, interpretable space, you can bring those skills into your relationships with yourself and others. Together, we will practice grounding skills, play with communication styles, learn to sense emotions, social narratives, and discomfort, and move towards alignment, so that you can foster lasting rooted awareness and feel stable in your humanness.
