How our work creates change
Change doesn't come from fixing yourself — it comes from relating to yourself in a new way. Together, we'll look at the patterns that have shaped how you think, feel, and connect with others. Many of these patterns once served a purpose, but now they may be limiting your freedom, energy, and sense of connection.
In our work, you'll practice turning toward your experience with more honesty and flexibility. We'll clarify what matters most to you, and you'll begin choosing actions that align with your values — not just old habits or fears.
This kind of work can be challenging, but it’s also liberating. It creates space for a more meaningful, connected, and self-directed life.
How I work
Sessions are conversational rather than formulaic. I work relationally, which means the exchange between us is part of the process — not just a vehicle for delivering techniques. That said, the work is also practical. Most of the time you'll leave with something concrete to sit with or try before we meet again, whether that's a new way of looking at something or a small experiment in doing things differently. I'm transparent about what we're doing and why, and I'll ask you to step outside your comfort zone — though never without understanding the reason for it.
I am committed to creating a therapeutic environment where all clients feel valued and respected. I recognize that systems of power — e.g., racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, classism — shape people's experiences in real ways, and I try to hold that with honesty rather than as an afterthought. I work to understand the fullness of who you are, including the identities you hold and how they intersect with what brings you to therapy.
