My Therapeutic Approach
I believe real change happens in relationship — including the one you have with yourself. My work is informed by somatic awareness, relational depth, and practical tools that travel beyond the therapy room.
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person who walks through my door has a unique history, nervous system, and set of strengths — my job is to meet you there.
My work is relational at its core. I pay close attention to what's happening between us in the room, because our relationship is itself a site of healing. I also draw on the wisdom of the body — noticing where emotion lives somatically and what it's trying to communicate.
I am direct and warm, curious and grounded. You can expect good questions, someone to sit with you in the hard parts, and celebration of the small shifts that add up to real change.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."— Carl Rogers
My work is integrative — I draw from several frameworks depending on what each person needs.
Understanding the many "parts" of ourselves — leading from the Self rather than our reactive or protective parts.
Bringing attention to how emotion lives in the body — breath, sensation, posture — as a window into deeper patterns.
Exploring how early relational experiences shape our adult patterns, and how we build more secure connection.
Cultivating present-moment awareness as a foundation for emotional regulation and self-compassion.
Working with what's alive and present in the room — contact, awareness, and integration of split-off experience.
Practical tools for shifting cognitive patterns and building psychological flexibility — especially useful for anxiety.
A 15-minute call to share what's bringing you in, ask questions, and see if we're a good fit — no pressure.
We slow down and explore your history, current situation, and what you're hoping for. This shapes our plan.
Weekly 50-minute sessions, tailored to where you are. We'll check in regularly and adjust as things shift.
We'll know when you're ready. Ending well is part of the work — and something we'll do together with care.
