I specialize in relationally-focused integrative psychotherapy, drawing on psychodynamic and humanistic perspectives. 

To ensure that our work is grounded in genuine and authentic human connection, it is vital for me to understand what it means to be present with you. Consistently and predictably showing up for you forms the foundation of our exploration into how other significant relationships in your life have influenced your growth. We will create a space where you can express what has been suppressed or silenced due to societal factors such as White supremacy, politics, school, religion, family, and more, which have deemed it unacceptable for you to bring your whole self to the table. We will delve into the significance, importance, and meaning of your emotions. Areas where you may have closed off possibilities (such as believing “It is what it is and can’t be changed”) will be examined within their historical context. This will allow us to fully appreciate the adaptive measures you have taken to protect yourself during times of distress and threat. 

Together, we will explore new ways of being by tapping into the infinite sources of wisdom derived from your bodily sensations, ancestral heritage, and connection to the land and ecology.
