Approach
No one moves through life uninterrupted.
MY APPROACH
I believe therapy works best when you can show up as your whole self.
I bring my whole self to the work—warm, curious, honest, and direct. I won’t rush you, fix you, or tell you who you should be. We’ll make room for what’s difficult, complicated, and sometimes hard to say out loud.
My approach is integrative, which means I draw from different therapeutic perspectives rather than expecting one approach to fit everyone. Together, we’ll find what fits you.
-
Person-Centered Therapy • Relational • Attachment-Informed
You don't have to perform, have the right words, or have everything figured out. I want you to feel genuinely seen and heard.
We’ll pay attention to the relationship we build and the ways your experiences and relationships have shaped how you connect with yourself and others. I believe the therapeutic relationship can become a place where you don’t have to edit yourself.
-
IFS-Informed • Psychodynamic
We all have different parts of ourselves—protective, wounded, critical, striving, or overwhelmed. Rather than judging these parts or trying to “fix” them, we approach them with curiosity and compassion.
We may also explore the deeper patterns, experiences, and relationships that have shaped who you are today. We get curious about the patterns you’ve built to survive, protect yourself, and keep things together, and what they’re costing you now.
-
Trauma-Informed • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy • Nervous System Awareness
Not everything we experience lives in words. Sometimes our bodies carry what we haven't been able to process or express.
We may gently notice sensations, tension, movement, shutdown, activation, or other nervous-system responses. This work is paced around your sense of safety and choice. You never have to revisit something before you're ready.
-
Emotionally Focused • Grief-Informed
Emotions can tell us a lot about what matters to us, what we need, and how we connect with others. Together, we can slow down and become curious about what's underneath the feelings rather than judging or pushing them away.
This approach can also be especially supportive when you're moving through grief, loss, or a significant life transition. There isn't one right way to grieve, and you don't have to rush your process.
-
CBT & DBT-Informed
Sometimes talking helps. Sometimes you need something you can actually use when life is happening.
We may work on the thoughts that keep you stuck, ways to handle big emotions, boundaries, communication, mindfulness, or getting through the moments when everything feels like too much.
Maybe you love a good worksheet. Maybe the thought of one makes you want to run. Either way, we’ll find what works for you. The goal is to find tools and strategies that support you in your actual, everyday life,not to force you into someone else’s idea of what therapy should look like.
AT THE HEART
OF MY WORK
You don't have to figure everything out before you come to therapy. You can come …
Tired.
Angry.
Confused.
Grieving.
Overwhelmed.
Reserved.
Hopeful.
Excited.
A little bit of everything.
You can come exactly as you are. I'll bring my whole self, and I'll invite you to bring yours, because you were never meant to carry every interruption alone.
Saying the Quiet
Part Out Loud
If you’re ready to understand these patterns more deeply and begin changing your relationship with overfunctioning and boundaries, you can reach out to schedule a consultation.
