My Approach to Therapy

Healing unfolds when the connection between mind, body, and spirit is gently supported and understood. Rooted in a relational, trauma-informed approach, I offer a compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted at your own pace. I welcome people of all identities and backgrounds and proudly affirm the LGBTQIA+ community. Together, we'll explore how personal experiences, generational trauma, culture, and societal influences shape your relationships, beliefs, and sense of self, creating space for greater healing, connection, and inner harmony. I offer therapy that supports the nervous system in healing from overwhelm and past experiences that may feel present in your daily life. Using approaches like EMDR, parts work, attachment-focused therapy, and the Structural Dissociation Model, we gently explore survival responses, fostering greater integration and creating new ways of experiencing yourself. This work helps you cultivate greater self-awareness, connect with your inner world, and develop a deeper sense of safety within yourself. I can support you in releasing long-held protective patterns, strengthening self-trust, and living with greater ease and choice. If you're ready to reconnect with your inner wisdom, I would be honored to walk with you!

Supervision Details

I help clients build safety in their body by moving slowly, strengthening awareness of boundaries, and practicing grounding and regulation tools. This makes sensations feel manageable, helping clients trust their ability to notice, tolerate, and move through emotions, creating a foundation for deeper healing and self-compassion.
