Licensed Psychologist-Master
Person-centered & humanistic psychotherapy
I often work with people who find themselves in a transitional space: feeling between things, or growing in directions that feel new, and looking for some additional support.
My approach is person-centered and humanistic. I listen closely and take the time needed to understand what you're going through, and together we find a pace that feels right for you. My style is conversational and engaged, and I've also been told I bring a laid-back presence to sessions. My aim is to create a space where you can come to know yourself better and build greater trust in your own inner process.
My foundation is Carl Rogers' work and its trust in you as the one who knows what's needed, along with Eugene Gendlin's Focusing, a way of tuning into the body to gain insight. I also draw on humanistic and positive psychology's interest in growth, and on work with values, meaning-making, and dreams.
Above all, I believe the relationship we build is central, and creating a sense of safety together comes before anything else.
Areas of focus:
• Anxiety or existential concerns
• Attention or motivation
• Life transitions and adjustment

• Personal growth
• Creativity, imagination, and dreamwork
