The foundation of my therapeutic approach is relational. This means I prioritize the relationship between us, as I believe it sets the foundation for our work. I draw from somatic and emotion focused practices. I also bring gentleness, moments of shared humor (I am really good at making myself laugh), and a spirit of collaboration to sessions. You can read more about my approach here.
