Let’s discover more parts of yourself to appreciate.

"I've reached the conclusion that people are not to be trusted, yet my heart hurts when it's closed.“

“Sometimes people kinda suck. But I still want to learn to communicate better with them.”

“Feelings. I don’t totally understand them, plus they’re uncomfortable." 

I help my clients learn to wrap their arms around themselves with empathy and grace.

I help individuals recognize their go-to moves and the negative feedback loop: their way of dealing with distress maintains their unwanted feelings, and those unwanted feelings reinforce the negative thoughts and ways of dealing with the hurt.

I help my clients slow down, heal from their past, discover more parts of themselves to smile at, and learn brave new ways to communicate.

My approach emphasizes making space and listening differently. I use radical curiosity and gentleness, and my core values in counseling are interdependence and vulnerability.
