I walk the talk and demonstrate integrity through my words and actions. How you see me online on social media is how I am when we meet during therapy – I am the same person in all spaces. I believe that honesty and trust-building are essential to my work.

We are human beings, not human doings, and authentic connections are very important to me. I am completely myself with clients in terms of my presence and how I show up - I’m a human too who has also experienced difficulty. At the same time, I stay true to my values and this also means setting boundaries as needed.

As a clinician, I am grounded in the reality of clients’ needs. As a systems-level thinker, I identify gaps and stumbling blocks from a birds’ eye view. Switching between these two roles – and the many others in between – provides me with keen insights and a roadmap of the journey ahead. We won’t just be talking for an hour - we’ll be figuring out the what, why, and how as well.

Having been in a place where I’ve felt alone, I know very well how so many clients feel. I’ve been there. Compassion is a necessary part of healing - you will feel held, supported, and heard at a deep level. And we need compassion in order to hold ourselves accountable for the inner work required to heal.
