My Therapy Approach & What to Expect in our Psychotherapy
"A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life."
-Christopher K. Germer​
I guide clients by creating a warm and encouraging space where you can discover your strengths and move toward the life they want. Together, we explore what’s possible, uncover new perspectives, and cultivate deeper self-trust. My goal is to support your growth in a way that feels empowering, grounding, and truly yours.
My work with you is always in the spirit of collaboration. I am a deep and attentive listener, as well as an interactive therapist. One of my goals is to give you my "toolbox" so you can manage your life outside the office. I invite you into feelings, which I see as a compass to guide you through fear, desire, hope, anger, blame, happiness, and joy.
Some of the modalities I bring into our work include
Attachment Theory

Parts Work
Connect with the various aspects of yourself. We will discover what parts have a voice, don't have a voice, have been suppressed, injured, are overlooked, overworked, undiscovered, or have taken over. The goal is to integrate them into a functioning "whole" self.
Mindfulness / Self Awareness
Deepen your relationship with feelings, desires, needs, and hopes. We take the time to listen to your mind, calm the thoughts, reflect on experiences, dive deeper into the subconscious, and create intention. Slowing the process down gives us time to understand the nuances and meaning of things more clearly.
Relational Therapy
Creating safety and trust in our relationship is of utmost importance to me. Offering you a non-judgmental place to explore your feelings will help us create new ways in relating to oneself and others. We are creating a new relationship together, that hopefully will help you grow, trust and be yourself.
Trauma
I hold any trauma you may have experienced as an integral part of who you are. I welcome ways to bring healing to those experiences, as well as explore blame, resentment, triggers and shame that may have evolved because of it.
-
Resist Re-traumatization: Avoiding practices that may retraumatize individuals.
-
Realization: Acknowledging the prevalence and impact of trauma.
-
Recognize: Identifying and understanding the signs and symptoms of trauma.
-
Respond: Providing culturally-competent and trauma-specific interventions.
Somatic Therapy
Our body holds all of our stories, feelings and thoughts. Often we don't attune to what is happening in our body. Bringing in somatic awareness allows you to learn from your body and tending to its reactions and feelings. This is valuable, especially if you have physical symptoms, anxiety/panic attacks or physical sensations related to events in the environment. This is also helpful for those who have PTSD.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
EFT is a research-based approach that helps individuals, couples, and families improve relationships by focusing on emotions and attachment needs. It works through three stages—de-escalation, restructuring, and consolidation—to help clients identify negative cycles, express underlying emotions, and build more secure and satisfying connections.
