Philosophy of Care
My path into this work has been shaped by years of walking alongside people in community and ministry settings, where I spent nearly twenty years mentoring youth, leading small groups, and supporting individuals through life's challenges. In those spaces, I came to believe something that continues to guide my work today: people are not meant to go through life alone, and healing happens in relational connection.
My goal is to help guide people toward a deeper connection within themselves first, and from there, to be able to connect and thrive in their relationships with others. My clinical approach is integrative, rooted in psychodynamic relational therapy, CBT, and trauma-informed care, with a deep commitment to diversity, inclusion and anti-racism work.
I am an affirming therapist for LGBTQIA+ individuals, and I strive to create a space where all parts of a person's identity are welcomed, respected, and safe. I am especially passionate about working with anxiety, shame and those navigating the nuanced experience of religious trauma.
I aim to create a space where clients can process the harm they have endured without having to abandon the parts of their spiritual identity that still feel meaningful or alive. Together, we can explore what has been lost, what remains important, and what it might look like to reclaim faith or spirituality on their own terms. My style is warm, attuned, and collaborative. I draw from insight-oriented, somatic, as well as skills-based approaches. My hope is that through this work, we can begin to gather the scattered pieces of their story and create space for curiosity, compassion, and deeper understanding to come alive.
