My Approach to Therapy
I believe that the therapy space should be filled with warmth, curiosity – and the safety required to consider taking the risks that go along with change. In sessions, we’ll work alongside each other to explore what stands in the way of your desired personal and relational growth. (What do you need, or need more of, to take the first steps?)
Together we’ll consider the roots, present-day triggers, and paths to hope and healing for the struggles you are facing – working cognitively, somatically, and, if desired, spiritually.
I work with both individual adults and couples, in the areas of anxiety, depression, grief and loss, family dynamics, relational conflict and repair, sexual integration, intimacy issues, trauma, and sexual trauma. I’m passionate about helping people explore healthy intimacy within their relationships. This goes beyond simply identifying where and why there is disconnection, to exploring movement towards deeper connection – or reconnection. I also aim to help normalize conversations and education about sex and sexuality, and to explore these topics through the lens of faith. All faiths and beliefs are welcome.
Looking forward to connecting!
