Integrative Counseling

As humans are intrinsically social beings, healing and growth takes place in relation to others. My objective is to provide clients with a space and relationship in which I offer them empathy, acceptance, and support as we work together as co-collaborators to explore the client’s inner self and work towards their goals.

I aim to help clients bring into awareness the different parts that make up their whole. We will explore your thoughts, emotions, your unconscious beliefs, your connection to your body, and your role in your community and family systems. We will seek out patterns and try to understand what is serving you, and what once served you and may no longer. Together we will create new perspectives on your beliefs and your narrative, in order to help you see yourself from different angles. With this awareness, I aim to help clients cultivate acceptance for all of their parts, while also working towards creating space for growth and change that allow them to live as their most authentic selves.

My approach is based on an integration of a number of schools of theory, primarily person-centered therapy, existential therapy, and Gestalt therapy. Our sessions together will be mostly verbal communication along with somatic practices, and potentially other creative methods we can come up with together. I specialize in self-compassion and moving towards self-acceptance, relational patterns, navigating queerness and alternative relationship structures, life transitions, and exploring questions of purpose and direction.

About me

I have been curious about people and why they do the things they do all my life, and relationships have always been my primary source of fulfillment and joy. I began my path as a counselor with a BA in Psychology where I learned about individual human behavior and the ways in which we shape/are shaped by the culture around us. After some time spent working in business and through personal transformative experiences in therapy, I decided I wanted to shift my focus and use my skills in a healing and growth practice. Since then, I have been studying integrative counseling, seeing clients, honing my approach, and am currently working towards a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.

I have lived and studied in the US, the UK, and Germany and am fascinated by the influence of culture on identity. I am looking forward to welcoming people with a diverse range of cultural, racial, religious, gender, and sexual identities into my practice.
