My Approach…

The therapeutic process is enlightening, reflective, transformative, and can even be fun! Our sessions will not be stuffy and clinical, but rather deep, meaningful, sensitive, and maybe include a laugh or two!

My work is rooted in an attachment based and trauma-informed perspective.  This means my work is lensed through an awareness that our interpersonal relationships and experiences can inform how we move through our lives and how we function in current relationships.  Many of us are challenged by our core relationships, which is why the healthy model of the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful corrective experience.  The foundation of my practice comes from creating an authentic connection and collaborating with you to help guide your healing process. The consistent, nurturing, safe therapeutic relationship in itself can be a corrective experience for many, which often has a ripple effect into other areas of one’s life.  

From this safe space, we can uproot the things in your life that are keeping you stuck or causing you stress.  During our sessions together, we will work to identify strengths, build resiliency, explore and challenge dysfunctional patterns, examine the impact of family history, build a support system, and develop healthy coping skills. Therapy is adapted according to your present needs, personality, culture, and background. 

Therapy works best as a collaborative process.  I encourage clients to have a voice in their own treatment - you are the expert on yourself after all.  As a holistic therapist, I consider you as a whole person: your inner world, your relationships, your culture, and your experiences.  We’ll be looking at all of the parts that contribute to your wellness so you can expect me to offer information and resources that will support your wellbeing outside of our regular sessions too.  It is all connected!  

My therapy process aims to ensure that you leave sessions with clarity, increased attunement to yourself, a felt sense of groundedness, practical tools, knowledge, and resources.
