I am guided by an interpersonal and emotion-focused approach to therapy. I strive to create a safe, genuine, and authentic client and therapist relationship, which I believe to be essential to fostering a trusting environment that is necessary for healing and long-term change. I have a particular passion for helping individuals learn ways to manage their trauma-related symptoms, make sense of unresolved family-of-origin concerns, process difficult emotions surrounding grief and loss, improve relationships, and find meaning in important life transitions.
