I bring a genuine, down to earth, warm, and insightful presence to our sessions and tailor my approach according to your needs.

You can expect curiousity, empathy, and a willingness to listen and understand what you are hoping to explore and navigate. I seek to build a real relationship with you through our being together. This means I am not a blank slate and I am very much with you as a practitioner! I like to keep my sessions open, explorative, and fluid so that your natural wisdom can emerge. I will be guided by you and seek to honor your autonomy. However, this does not mean that there is no room for structure. When appropriate we will work in a more direct or structured way as agreed between the both of us to help you move toward something more specific or goal-oriented. I will teach you how you can work through your difficulty through teaching you different skills (from western and eastern psychology) and through the use of story telling and metaphor. I will also share personal examples from my life to support your process and understanding when appropriate. If you are working on recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating: I will work closely with you to define your goals for recovery, and help you challenge your fears, acknowledge your strengths, and keep you accountable in the most compassionate way as you move toward building sustainable change, growth, and healing. I will also work closely with anyone else who is on your treatment team and help monitor your safety from a physical point of view as needed.
