I want to meet you where you are at and help get you where you want to go. You are the expert in your life, and my goal is to help bring new perspectives and ideas to help you decide what is best for you.
At the core of any psychological treatment, the most important factor is being responsive to the client. I believe in a tailored and collaborative approach to psychological therapy, where the client and therapist operate as a team in identifying and tackling the client's problems. This involves regularly checking in to ensure everyone is on the same page and happy with the progress and direction of work together.
My approach is foremost grounded in our shared humanity, and I like to be warm, smile, and occasionally crack a joke. Therapy is important work, but it does not need to be staid and dry. I believe in always being open-minded, non-judgemental and respectful, and matching the best evidence-based science to the human sitting in front of me. I am a big believer in the value of rapport, and working together to achieve your goals. I want to develop a trusting, safe relationship where we can explore all matters openly and honestly.
Through my practice and previous professional work, I have had the good fortune of meeting people from all ages, stages, cultures, and walks of life, and welcome the opportunity to get to know and help them in their journeys. I believe in providing a culturally safe and responsive practice, and welcome LGBQTI and neurodiverse clients.
