What is Psychotherapy?
Finding Alignment
Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to find a witness to your inner-world, resilience, challenges, and pains. Having a benevolent, non-judgmental, and supportive witness in therapy can help these hopes and dreads become tangible…and in time…manageable and, with some work, can move towards alignment with your true self.
As a therapist, I work with folx to help develop insight into the spoken and unspoken emotional injuries. Together, I hope that we can co-create an understanding of your inner world and find ways to find alignment with your values.

Psychotherapy is Unique
My approach towards psychotherapy is eclectic and centered on the needs of clients, context, situations, and relational concerns. These approaches include relational-psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and emotionally focused couple’s therapy.
