My Approach

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection, self-understanding, and self-compassion. I strive to create a collaborative, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe exploring their experiences, challenges, strengths, and goals. Whether you are processing past experiences, navigating current stressors, or seeking greater self-awareness, therapy can provide an opportunity for meaningful growth and lasting change.

My therapeutic style is integrative and tailored to each client's unique needs. I draw from EMDR, Integrated Somatic Regulation, Trauma Responsive Yoga, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to support healing on both cognitive and somatic levels. Together, we can explore what matters most to you, build practical tools for navigating life's challenges, and create a path forward that feels authentic, connected, and aligned with your values.
