My Approach

My integrative approach incorporates psychodynamic, somatic, trauma-informed, emotion-focused, and existential therapies. My work is rooted in anti-oppressive, anti-racist, queer-affirming, and neuroscience-informed frameworks.

​

Together, we explore how unconscious patterns, past experiences, and distress shape emotional experiences, relationships, and the nervous system. I often use grounding techniques like breathing to help regulate the nervous system. We may also explore questions of meaning, loss, loneliness, and grief, acknowledging the complexity of being human. When words fall short, I sometimes integrate expressive arts and creative practices to express emotions that may be difficult to articulate, while also exploring the unconscious- those parts of ourselves that often live beneath the surface and shape how we feel and relate. As you move toward a stronger sense of self, resilience, and healing, I walk alongside you with care and curiosity. 

​

I provide 50-minute individual therapy sessions for adults (18 years and older) and older adults (65 years and older).

 

To start, I offer you a complimentary 30-minute virtual consultation to give us both a chance to get a sense of working together and to determine if it feels like a good fit.

​​​

My standard fee is $130 per session. I also offer sliding-scale options for those experiencing financial difficulties. Payment is accepted via e-transfer, and I provide receipts that you can submit for insurance reimbursement.
