My Approach
My clients might describe me as warm, authentic, and direct. I show up with curiosity and gentleness, while also offering supportive guidance without judgment. Many of the people I work with have an intellectual understanding of why they feel stuck, but still struggle to move forward. I help them uncover patterns and blindspots that may be holding them back, so they can make meaningful progress and achieve real-world results.
Therapy with me will feel collaborative. I prioritize creating a space where you feel truly supported as you explore issues that can feel tender, overwhelming, and deeply vulnerable.
My approach is trauma-informed, non-pathologizing, and rooted in deep respect for the adaptive ways we learn to survive. To me, success in therapy means building radical self-trust and reclaiming your power to shape a life that feels aligned with who you are and what you truly desire.

Modalities
Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps us understand the different “parts” within you—protective or wounded—and how they’ve developed to help you cope.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful tool for processing and releasing distressing memories or beliefs that may be stuck in the nervous system.
Attachment-Based Therapy helps us understand how early relationships shape how we connect with ourselves and others, and how we can begin to repair those patterns over time.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports you in building a healthier relationship with your thoughts and feelings while connecting to values that make life meaningful.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (MB-CBT) helps you build awareness of your thoughts so you can observe them without becoming "caught" in them, while also supporting you in making intentional changes to outdated behaviors.
Relational Therapy reflects my belief that relationships are at the heart of healing. Working with the “here and now,” I help you identify patterns in your life by pointing out how they show up in the room.
