My Approach

I strive to create an inviting and affirming space where your emotions are honored as a source of wisdom. Together, we’ll explore what your feelings and body are communicating — not as problems to fix, but as guides toward greater self-awareness, deeper intimacy, and a renewed sense of agency in creating the life you want. 

Our sessions often feel like talk therapy with deeper layers. Together, we explore not just what’s happening in your mind, but what your nervous system might be trying to communicate. I draw from trauma-informed somatic psychotherapy, parts work (IFS), mindfulness, breathwork and multicultural and psychodynamic approaches, weaving in insights from Attachment and Polyvagal Theory to help you understand your patterns of protection and connection and gently create new ways of being with yourself and others.

In our sessions, you can expect warmth, humor, and collaboration — a space that honors your story and the wisdom you already possess.We might slow down to notice how your breath or posture changes, where tension gathers in your body, or how a younger part of you shows up when you feel criticized or unseen. My approach is tailored to each individual I work with so my sessions can look vastly different depending on who I am working with and what works best for them.

I believe healing happens through relationship and safety — when all parts of you are welcomed and understood. I pay close attention to what happens between us and what is in the here-and-now. I think the therapeutic relationship is one of the most powerful tools we have, and I aim to be intentional about naming dynamics, ruptures, or protective patterns that show up in the moment. I show up with transparency and openness, and I welcome feedback as part of the process. I think of therapy as something we build together, moment by moment.
