My Approach
I believe healing begins when we are seen as more than our struggles.
I believe you are more than the challenges that bring you to therapy. While it is important to understand and address symptoms, I am equally interested in getting to know you as a whole person—your story, your strengths, the people and experiences that have shaped you, and the things that make you feel most alive.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Together, we'll explore the patterns, wounds, or obstacles that may be keeping you from living the life you want while building practical tools for healing and growth. While therapy often involves meaningful and challenging work, I also believe there is room for curiosity, creativity, and even moments of humor along the way.
No matter what your challenges are, my hope is to help you better understand yourself, live more fully in alignment with your values, and take meaningful steps toward becoming your truest and most fulfilled self.
Methods I Use
Attachment Theory
Understanding how early relationships shaped the way you see yourself, others, and the world — and creating new patterns that serve you better.
Family Systems
Exploring the relational dynamics, roles, and patterns within your family that influence who you are and how you connect with others.
ERP for OCD
Exposure and Response Prevention — breaking the cycle of obsessions and compulsions so you can reclaim your freedom from OCD.
Trauma-Focused CBT
An evidence-based approach for processing traumatic experiences and rebuilding a sense of safety, meaning, and self.
EMDR

Experiential Techniques
Engaging mind and body together through creative, somatic, and experiential approaches that go beyond talk therapy alone.

Identifying what matters most to you and creating a life aligned with your deepest values — not shaped by fear or others' expectations.
The Journey Together
From where you are, to where you want to be.
Past Experiences
We explore the history that shapes your patterns — with curiosity, not blame.
Current Patterns
We identify what's no longer serving you and why those patterns made sense at the time.

Understanding shifts. You begin to see yourself and your story with new clarity and compassion.
Healing
With safety and support, the nervous system can regulate, the wounds can soften, and new ways of being emerge.
