I believe healing begins by creating a safe and sacred space where individuals can fully reconnect with their authentic selves. I have nearly a decade of clinical experience and specialize in helping clients heal attachment wounds, navigate complex emotions, and reclaim their inner strength after trauma, grief, or significant life transitions. My therapeutic approach blends depth-oriented psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and mind-body awareness, recognizing that true healing must involve both the emotional and the unconscious layers of experience. My style is warm but direct, and I strive to offer my clients a steady hand as they learn to navigate their inner world with greater self-trust, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. I work especially well with clients who feel “stuck” between who they once were and who they are becoming — offering the insight, patience, and guidance needed for profound transformation.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session will begin with a collaborative conversation about what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping to explore or heal, and any immediate emotional needs you may have. I will invite you to share as much or as little of your background as feels comfortable, emphasizing that building safety and trust is the first priority. I may gently ask about significant life experiences, relationship patterns, current challenges, and internal struggles, all while listening deeply for the emotional threads that weave through your story. Rather than jumping straight into problem-solving, I focus on attuning to your emotional landscape — to help you feel seen, heard, and understood at a foundational level. I hope to introduce the therapeutic process as a co-created journey, by explaining my approach (attachment-focused, trauma-informed, emotionally integrative) and inviting both your feedback and questions. Above all, the first session is about beginning the slow, sacred work of building a secure emotional connection — one where your true self is safe to emerge, unfold, and heal.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have seven years of experience working with adolescents and adults dealing with a variety of health and mental health challenges, including substance use disorders, chronic mental health diagnoses, and complex trauma. I have developed a sincere commitment to working creatively with a person-centered, strengths based approach, grounded in best practice interventions. My goal is to help clients navigate the deepest terrains of trauma, loss, and identity dissolution, and to guide them through the necessary unraveling that precedes true healing. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing is not about becoming someone new, it's about reclaiming the parts of yourself you had to abandon in order to survive. It is remembering who you were before the world taught you to be small, silent, or afraid. I am here to help you remember, reconnect, and rise - on your own terms, in your own time.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am best positioned to serve clients who are emotionally intelligent but feel disconnected from their true selves, who carry invisible wounds from early life or past relationships, and those standing at the threshold of personal transformation but feeling stuck, ungrounded, or overwhelmed. I specialize in helping highly sensitive and empathic individuals who were never properly mirrored or emotionally validated, as well as those struggling with overwhelming emotions such as grief, sadness, shame, or anger. I am experienced in guiding survivors of complex trauma, emotional neglect, and relational wounding — clients who may intellectually understand their past but remain emotionally entangled in old patterns. I strive to be an ally for individuals navigating major life transitions such as divorce, loss, career changes, or identity shifts, by offering them a space to reclaim meaning, resilience, and authenticity. My ideal clients are often those questioning their old life paths, seeking to live more aligned with internal values rather than societal or external expectations. Those who are tired of surface-level solutions and are ready for deeper, more transformative work, through inner child healing, attachment repair, mind-body integration, and exploring the emotional roots of their struggles. Those who strive to move beyond symptom management and into true emotional reintegration and identity reclamation. Individuals who are ready to step into a deeper relationship with themselves, grieve what was lost, rescue the parts of themselves they thought they had to leave behind, and rewrite their lives from a place of courage, worth, and self-belonging. The most meaningful work occurs when partnering with clients who are open to doing the profound task of healing – not just to survive, but to truly come home to themselves.
