I specialize in helping individuals heal from childhood and family trauma, overcome relationship challenges, and develop effective skills to cope with anxiety, stress, and depression.
In my practice, I take a relational, trauma-informed approach, drawing on attachment theory and modern neuroscience to create a safe space where clients can show up as their authentic selves and truly feel understood and accepted. Within the safety of a trusting therapeutic relationship, I work collaboratively with clients to help them gain deeper insight into their behaviors and relationship patterns, manage strong emotions, reprocess past trauma, improve communication skills, and establish healthy boundaries. Through this process, clients can expect to build self-compassion, restore their ability to trust, and cultivate a sense of calm and security within themselves and their relationships.
First session
In our work together, you can expect a relaxed and empathetic environment. During our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and clarify what you hope to achieve. The initial appointment is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of my style as a therapist and determine whether it feels like the right fit. While it’s normal to feel a little nervous at first, my goal is for you to leave our first meeting feeling hopeful about the process ahead.
Strengths
I am intentional about showing up as my true self, bringing a warm and authentic presence to the therapy room. I understand the courage it takes to confront deep wounds, and that compassion shapes how I approach therapy. I’m here to remind you that while the journey may be challenging, healing is not only possible, it is within your reach.
Ideal clients
Many of the individuals I work with care deeply about others and often seek therapy to address challenges affecting their most important relationships. I am particularly passionate about supporting clients who struggle with patterns of people-pleasing, over-functioning, codependency, or insecure attachment. I work best with clients who are naturally curious about themselves and their relationships, enjoy deep self-reflection, and identify as empaths. I also enjoy working with diverse populations, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals in non-traditional relationship structures.
Treatment methods
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how our early relationships shape our perceptions and the way we relate to others in adulthood. If we form an insecure attachment style, we may develop unhelpful ways of viewing the world, others, and ourselves. The goal is to help individuals develop more secure attachments and resolve patterns of behavior rooted in attachment-related trauma or unmet emotional needs, such as clinginess, jealousy, trust issues, or intimacy avoidance. I use psychoeducation to help clients understand attachment theory, combined with techniques like parts work and inner child work, to guide them in identifying unmet attachment needs and developing the resources to meet those needs in the present day.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that helps people recognize and change negative thought patterns. Stressful life events and family of origin dynamics can shape our brains to think negatively. I use CBT techniques to help clients recognize and challenge limiting beliefs, replacing them with healthier, more realistic thoughts. This process promotes emotional resilience and empowers clients to approach life with a more balanced perspective.
