What's My Approach to Therapy?
You’ve probably spent years keeping it all together: showing up for everyone else while quietly feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure who you are beneath the survival mode. Maybe you grew up in a home where emotions weren’t safe, or you’ve learned to mask your needs to stay accepted. On the outside, you might seem fine. Inside, it’s hard to rest, trust, or feel enough.
I help adults and children heal from complex trauma, emotional neglect, and neurodivergence-related challenges like attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and autism. In our work together, you don’t have to over-explain, hide, or be “too much.” You’ll find a grounded, compassionate space to explore what’s underneath the anxiety, perfectionism, or emotional numbness.
My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and experiential. I draw from modalities like internal family systems (IFS), mindfulness, and play-based or creative therapies to help you reconnect with the parts of you that learned to survive, and teach your nervous system that it’s safe to live differently. For clients seeking clarity, I also offer attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and autism assessments to better understand how your brain and body work.
Healing doesn’t have to mean doing more. It means learning how to be with yourself in a new way. If you’re ready to feel grounded, connected, and genuinely seen, I’d love to help you get there.

My Role as a Therapist
My role is to help you feel safe enough to explore what's been too heavy to carry alone. I don't see myself as the expert on your life. I see us as collaborators. You bring your lived experience; I bring tools to help you understand your patterns, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with parts of yourself that have been shut down by trauma or survival mode.
I see therapy as a place where curiosity replaces judgment and where we move at a pace that feels right for you. Whether we're untangling the effects of emotional neglect, working through CPTSD, or understanding how ADHD or autism shape your world, my goal is to help you build self-trust, compassion, and a felt sense of safety.
Ultimately, therapy with me isn't about "fixing" you. It's about helping you come home to yourself.
