I am a humanistic therapist, working from an attachment based, person centered perspective. As a humanist I believe in combining a non-judgmental and supportive environment with intellectual curiosity to work with you as a whole person, thoughts and feelings.  In our relationship, I believe we are partners working together to determine root causes and patterns to find the best way forward. I am not the expert on you nor do I strive to be. I look forward to talking with you – not at you. I strive to understand you – not judge you. 

​

Utilizing an attachment framework, means I look at your current struggles in context of how your grew up.  The fundamental premise of Attachment Theory is that we learn how to be a partner, parent, or friend from our early-life relationships with our own parents or other primary caregivers.  Together we were learn how your worldview has been shaped by these fundamental early relationships. 

​

I am personally inspired by the works of psychologists Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, and Sue Johnson.  I am also strongly inspired by the works of mystic poet, Rumi.
