A Safe Place To Begin​

First and foremost, I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and comfortable space where you can bring your full self. My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you with curiosity and care as we explore your experiences together. It is important for you to know that therapy requires you to share about who you are and work towards the changes you want to make. You are the expert in your own life. I see my role as a guide, offering perspective, tools, and gentle direction while honoring your inner wisdom and pace.

Looking At The Whole Picture

For intake and assessment, I use a developmental and attachment lens along with a bio-psycho-social framework. What this means is that together we’ll look at the whole picture of your life: your body and biology, thoughts and emotions, early experiences, family dynamics, relationships, culture, environment, life stressors, and important life experiences. This way, we can better understand not only your current challenges, but also your strengths and resources.

 

How I Work

My practice is trauma-informed and integrates the connection between mind and body. I draw on both talk therapy and experiential practices. I mainly work through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed approach and also integrate mindfulness, self-compassion practices, and weave in elements from other evidence-based modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Your therapy is tailored uniquely to your needs, goals, and strengths.

 

My Commitment To Growth 

I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development, always looking to deepen my knowledge of the approaches I believe in and the ones I feel will be most helpful to my clients. Above all, my goal is to provide a space where you feel truly seen, supported, and empowered in your healing journey.
