​I believe that we all have a natural capacity for healing, adaptation, and growth. Sometimes, however, the ways we have learned to protect ourselves, connect with others, or navigate difficult experiences can begin to feel limiting. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, become curious about those patterns, and better understand what is happening beneath them.

​

My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and grounded in curiosity. Rather than assuming there is something that needs to be “fixed,” I am interested in helping clients understand themselves more deeply — how their experiences, relationships, identities, environments, and nervous systems have shaped the ways they move through the world.

​

Together, we may explore not only what you are experiencing now, but the patterns and experiences that have contributed to it. This can include exploring attachment and relationship patterns, family of origin, trauma, identity, boundaries, emotional and physical responses, values, and the ways you have learned to seek connection, safety, and belonging.

​

My work integrates trauma-informed and attachment-based perspectives with principles from Gestalt Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing. I tailor therapy to the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a particular model. At times our work may be reflective and exploratory; at others, it may involve learning practical skills, experimenting with something new, or identifying concrete changes you want to make in your life.

​

I also believe that mental health cannot be separated from the rest of our lives. Our emotional well-being exists in relationship with our bodies, relationships, work, culture, spirituality, sexuality, creativity, communities, and environments. Therapy can therefore become a place to explore the whole person — not simply symptoms or diagnoses.

​

I work with individual and couples therapy, and much of my work centers around life transitions, moving through different life stages, relationships and attachment, trauma and family dynamics, identity, acculturation, boundaries, parenting, women’s issues, sexuality and sexual health, spirituality, and questions of meaning and belonging.

In my work with couples, I am interested in helping partners understand the patterns that develop between them — particularly the needs, emotions, attachment experiences, and protective responses that may exist beneath conflict or disconnection. Therapy can provide a space to slow these patterns down, strengthen communication and emotional understanding, and explore new ways of relating to one another.

​

Being human is complex. We can want independence and connection, safety and change, belonging and freedom — sometimes all at once. I believe therapy does not have to eliminate those complexities. Instead, it can help us understand them, make room for them, and develop greater freedom in how we choose to respond.

​

My hope is to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel supported enough to be curious — about your patterns, your needs, your contradictions, your strengths, and the parts of yourself you may not have had the opportunity to fully know yet.
