THE PHILOSOPHY

Turning to wonder.

I believe people have an inherent capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change. My role is not to tell you who you should be, but to walk alongside you as we explore what it means to turn to wonder.

  • We can make room for understanding by approaching experiences and assumptions with openness.

  • Description text goes hereSafety, respect, and collaboration are the foundation of meaningful therapeutic and supervisory work.

  • Growth builds upon the strengths and knowledge you already bring to the conversation.

My practice is guided by social work ethics, the dignity and worth of every person, and an understanding that our identities are shaped by culture, relationships, upbringing, environment, privilege, health, and lived experience.

My Approach

Whether I am providing therapy or clinical supervision, my approach is grounded in the belief that people possess an inherent capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change. I believe that turning toward wonder—approaching ourselves, our experiences, and the people around us with curiosity and openness—can create space for new understanding and possibility.
My practice is deeply informed by the values and ethical principles of social work. I believe every person has inherent dignity and worth and that each of us is shaped by the complex interaction of our identities, relationships, upbringing, culture, environment, privilege, health, genetics, and lived experiences. These factors influence how we understand ourselves and the world, and I believe they deserve to be explored with curiosity rather than judgment.
I take a collaborative, person-centered approach and believe that the individual is the expert on their own experience. Whether I am working with a client or a supervisee, my role is not to provide all the answers, but to create a space where curiosity, reflection, learning, and growth can take place.
In therapy, I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while integrating elements of Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy based on the needs and goals of the individual. I am also trained in EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I view these approaches as tools rather than rigid frameworks, allowing the work to remain responsive to the person sitting across from me.
In supervision, I bring this same spirit of collaboration and curiosity. I believe effective supervision is more than reviewing cases or developing clinical skills—it is an opportunity to explore professional identity, strengthen clinical judgment, examine assumptions and biases, and develop confidence as a social worker. I aim to provide supervision that is supportive and appropriately challenging, creating space for both competence and curiosity.
At the center of both therapy and supervision is my belief that growth happens through relationship, reflection, and curiosity. I consider myself a lifelong learner and believe that every person I work with has something to teach me. I bring my experience and clinical knowledge to the relationship while remaining open to what clients and supervisees can teach me about their experiences, perspectives, and the work itself.
Ultimately, I hope to create spaces where people feel respected, supported, challenged, and genuinely curious about what is possible.
