Therapy That’s Deep, Authentic, and Transformative
Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? Maybe anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or self-doubt keep you in frustrating cycles. Perhaps life transitions or relationship struggles have left you unmoored. Or maybe you don’t know exactly what’s wrong—just that something needs to change. Therapy can be a space to step out of survival mode and into self-understanding, clarity, and connection.
I take a collaborative, integrative approach—active, engaged, and tailored to each individual. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, EFT, EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT, and mindfulness to help uncover the roots of emotional distress and build a more connected, fulfilling life. My work is always grounded in attachment and attachment theory, because the way we relate to one another shapes everything.
I also recognize that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Systemic oppression, intergenerational trauma, and cultural identity all play a role. I am affirming of all gender identities, expressions, and sexual orientations.
With children, I incorporate play therapy, art therapy, and sand tray therapy, using creative expression as a natural way for them to explore emotions and develop coping skills.
With teens, I create a space where they can safely express themselves while navigating growing independence. Confidentiality is key to fostering trust, so while I work within legal and ethical guidelines, I strive to create an environment where teens feel they can speak freely. I also help teens and families balance autonomy and connection, strengthening relationships while respecting developmental needs.
With adults seeking relationship counseling, I use the Gottman Method and Emotionally-Focused Couple Therapy.
Across all ages, therapy is a space to examine old patterns, process painful experiences, and build healthier ways of relating. When emotions feel overwhelming, the focus is on regulation skills and emotional clarity. When relationships feel strained, the work centers on breaking unhelpful cycles and fostering deeper connection.
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in relationships, and the connection between therapist and client is one of the most important parts of the process. Research shows that therapeutic fit—feeling safe, understood, and truly seen—is a key factor in healing and growth.
That’s why I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship rather than a one-size-fits-all process. I work to create a space where you feel met exactly as you are, with warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment. When therapy feels like a genuine, supportive relationship, deep change can happen. If it seems like we’d be a good fit, I’d love to support you in this process.
