My Approach
I integrate evidence-based practices with client-centered care, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), psychodrama, and other integrative approaches. This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Through an attachment lens, I pay close attention to how early relationships and life experiences shape the way we understand ourselves, regulate emotions, and connect with others. Many of the struggles people bring to therapy—such as anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and trauma— are rooted in patterns of attachment that once served a purpose but may no longer feel supportive. Together, we work to bring awareness to these patterns and create new ways of relating to yourself and others with greater security and compassion. Being trauma-responsive means that I recognize how past experiences—especially painful or overwhelming ones—can shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others. I work with great care to ensure that therapy feels emotionally safe, respectful, and empowering. We focus not only on understanding what has happened, but also on building tools for regulation, resilience, and self-compassion.
​
I believe that deep healing happens when insight and emotional connection come together. Some sessions may focus on practical coping skills and thought patterns, while others may involve exploring emotions, relationships, and the stories you carry about yourself and your life. Both are important parts of the healing process.
My work is informed by both professional training and my own personal journey alongside family members navigating mental health challenges. This has given me a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek help and a strong belief in each person’s capacity for growth and change. Above all, I aim to meet you with curiosity, compassion, and care. Whether you are working through grief, trauma, relationship stress, or a season of transition, my hope is to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, balance, and emotional wellbeing.
I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. My approach to therapy is warm, empathic, non-judgmental, trauma-responsive, and grounded in an attachment lens. I strive to create an environment where you feel safe to explore difficult emotions, reflect on your experiences, and move at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. I view our work as a partnership in which your voice, goals, and lived experiences matter deeply.
