My Approach

Collaborative & Relational

The cornerstone of my approach is connection and human-to-human collaboration. I believe that you are the ultimate expert of your life and I am here to facilitate the space, skills, and support you may have not had. I’ll help you to become more compassionate to the parts of yourself that you may struggle to accept.

Humor & Humanness

No blank slate here, and no performance required either. Therapy can feel intimidating, in this space, genuine expression and connection is prioritized. Your complex humanness, humor, and authenticity are welcomed and wanted here

Systemic & Holistic

I aim to see you holistically and systemically, noticing how your experiences, relationships, and identities interconnect and not only shape your world but how they are impacted by our world.

The heart Behind Bear & Bramble

I’m huge on symbolism and an old friend helped to coin my practice name, “Bear & Bramble Counseling.” Bramble is a wild growing thicket that snags, is difficult to navigate through, and becomes entangled, not knowing where it begins or ends. This can represent our past, traumas, certain relationships or experiences we’ve collected through life. Bears are often seen as protectors, courage, and family. Sometimes, we are healing from hurts caused by our family of origin. Over time, we can gain loved ones who become our chosen family and connection that once felt threatening, becomes healing. If you feel snagged, entangled in hurt, let this be one place you can safely let your guard down, recognize your own courage, and bare witness to the truths of your experiences, together, at your pace.
