My approach to psychotherapy is influenced in large part by my own experience of existing as a sensitive and emotional human. It’s also influenced by my background in the visual arts which influences me to see the therapeutic space as one that is creative, dynamic and even playful. I try to operate from a baseline of empathy, curiosity and non-judgment. I work primarily from a Gestalt therapy style, from which I emphasize the power of the therapeutic relationship and the here-and-now experiences that emerge as the therapeutic process unfolds. I also utilize somatic experiencing, EMDR, and attachment style in my therapeutic approach.

I don’t think therapeutic techniques are enough to treat suffering of the soul, so I try to lead with my authentic and caring presence, often incorporating my own lived experiences, with the hope of creating a secure environment to explore what’s happening for you. I frequently work with people experiencing depression, anxiety and difficult life transitions.
