What's My Approach to Therapy?

Hello! I'm so glad you found my page. I believe we all have rich, inner worlds fueled by confidence, compassion and curiosity. When trauma or early relationship disturbances disconnect us from this, symptoms of depression or anxiety arise. Whether I’m working with individuals, couples, or families, my approach is empathetic, trauma-informed, and deeply respectful. My goal is to provide you with the relationship you need in order to heal and grow. With curiosity and compassion, we will collaborate on therapy goals and a treatment plan. This may include retraining your nervous system to be less reactive, identifying maladaptive narratives or beliefs that are holding you back, and understanding and accepting all parts of yourself. I am a big believer in Carl Rogers’ paradoxical theory of change which says, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.”

My Practice & Services

I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relational challenges, and life transitions. Together, we will identify and work toward healing the core wounds that contribute to your distress, so that you may restore vibrancy in your life. With couples, I draw on attachment research to uncover the behaviors that foster safety and connection for you and your partner, and those that trigger disconnection or threat. With this, you can improve communication, foster intimacy and create shared meaning in your lives. In my work with families, we explore the dynamics that keep you and your family members stuck in dysfunction. We identify the patterns and boundaries (or lack thereof) that shape communication and make small, intentional shifts that lead to meaningful change across the entire system.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I love that my clients trust me to hear and hold their stories. It is deeply fulfilling to walk with them as they move through their therapeutic journeys, embracing new narratives about themselves and the world. I love the connection that emerges within the therapeutic relationship.
