Mary Oliver poses the question, “What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” In many ways, this question guides me both personally and professionally.
It is an honor for me to help people work through challenges to create a fulfilling life.
My career began working in a residential home for foster care youth. Though I often felt heavy-hearted witnessing the impact of trauma and intense emotional suffering endured by these teens, I also experienced hope as I watched them connect and respond to the therapeutic process. It was then I knew what I wanted to do with my “one wild and precious life” and so I began the journey of becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working as a psychotherapist since 2010.
I know from experiences in my own life and in listening to my clients, the desperate measures one will take in an effort to stop emotional pain. I have also found that profound healing can take place in a compassionate and supportive therapeutic relationship, which is what drives me to do the work that I do.
My approach to therapy is grounded in psychodynamic theory which means we will go to the root of your struggles to work through the underlying issues and themes so that you can experience lasting healing and change.
I would be honored to embark with you on a therapeutic journey of healing, growth, and connecting to your “one wild and precious life."
