Supporting Your Wellness

Approach to Therapy

“The problem is the problem. The person is not the problem”- White

Fundamentally I believe people are the experts on themselves. I approach each person with an earnest curiosity, humbleness and belief in their goodness. I see each individual as a rich tapestry of experience and potential. Through empathy, positive regard and authenticity I will accompany people on their journey to wellbeing primarily from a person-centered orientation. I value collaborating with people to weave together the threads of their lives into congruency and wholeness. My goal is to create a safe and therapeutic environment where all aspects of a person feel deeply welcome. I wish to foster growth and healing through deconstructing unhelpful thought patterns and to remove obstacles to wellness. I hope to collaboratively tailor the therapeutic process to the unique needs of each individual that I serve. My approach integrates mindfulness-based stress reduction, narrative therapy, compassion focused therapy, somatic therapy, and third wave behavioral therapies such as ACT. I work from a multi-cultural-feminist and LGBTQIA+ affirming, existential, trauma informed, polyvagal and liberation psychology perspective.

I strive for the integration of mind, body and spirit as part of a wellness model. All domains of your lives will be considered. The root of the word consider literally means “to observe the stars”. When sitting with your considerations It is my hope that we can be with the stars and find insights that will help liberate you from suffering.
