“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

-Carl Rogers 

True healing happens when all parts of ourselves are invited to the table. My goal is to co-create a space where you can explore the hidden pieces of your story with kindness and courage, finding strength and self-compassion along the way.

Modalities I Integrate:

My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, drawing from several therapeutic traditions and adapting our work to your individual needs.

Psychodynamic

Exploring unconscious patterns, early experiences, and the ways the past continues to shape the present.

Somatic

Listening to the body and nervous system as sources of information, awareness, and healing.

Attachment & Relational

Exploring how relationships shape our sense of self, safety, connection, and intimacy.

Internal Family Systems

Meeting the different parts of yourself with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment.

EMDR

Supporting the processing and integration of experiences that continue to feel emotionally or physiologically present.

Mindfulness

Cultivating greater awareness of thoughts, emotions, and bodily experiences, creating more space to respond rather than react.

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor
