Therapeutic Orientation & Focus

Therapeutic Orientation

I offer a holistic approach to therapy that cultivates a space which illuminates each persons intricately woven, ever-evolving tapestry of their internal world and external relationships. In the therapeutic space, individuals are invited to explore their relationship with themselves, their communities, and the world around them in a way that fosters healing, agency, and connection. With a prioritization of patience and curiosity, I hold space for healing to unfold at its own pace, shaped by each person’s story and sense of what they need most.

I earned my MA in the Arts of Counseling from Saint Martin’s University, with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling.  I am committed to creating a space that resists pathologizing and instead honors each person’s lived experience by approaching therapy through a lens of liberation, anti-oppression, and decolonization.

I offer therapy for both individuals and relationships, affirming the rich diversity of how people connect and care for one another. My work embraces a wide range of relationship structures - including monogamous partnerships, polyamorous constellations, consensual non-monogamy, familial bonds, sibling dynamics, deep friendships, and non-romantic or platonic partnerships. I provide a holistic, trauma-informed process to therapy;  incorporating attachment theory, narrative therapy, IFS-informed parts work, polyvagal practices, and multicultural perspectives into my therapeutic technique. I integrate a harm reduction framework into therapy because I believe the path towards growth is unique to each individual and not a linear process.
