(she/her)
Synchronize your heart and mind; so you can harmonize your life. When we are being pulled in thousands of different directions by our minds, it's important for us to ground in ourselves. It's important for you to connect to your heart and see what it needs. That's when you can find the bliss and harmony that you've longed for in life. Your life is a story to be told, and I am excited to hear it. In the course of my career, my heart has been touched by at least three thousand individuals who honored me with their stories of love, loss, trauma, and a deeper a need for understanding who he/she is. I love working with clients who are ready to be challenged and identify blind spots in their lives. Many of my clients are therapists themselves or work in the field of healing. We create an individualized therapeutic plan and strategy based on your comfort and pace. We move gradually but quickly to address what changes you want to implement in your life. Most sessions are active, rather than passive. Yet, the therapeutic space belongs to the client. You get to dictate and tell your story at your pace.
The initial session is an intake session where we get to see if we are good fit. I like to use time wisely, and therapy isn't everyone's cup of tea. Therefore, if you are shy or need help, we ease you in. The therapy space is your safe haven. You dictate, you control how we move forward. At times, you may experience moments of discomfort or emotional activation as we gently explore deeper experiences. This is a natural part of the process, and you won’t navigate it alone. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.
We work hard, yet it's important to have fun in therapy. Getting to know who you really are is an awe-inspiring experience- why not enjoy discovering yourself? All people are unique and beautiful. There isn't a judgment from my end, so therapy becomes relatable. Our job is to help you be seen and to create a space that you feel held and understood. The therapeutic space becomes a place of safety; ultimately, it's a simulation of how you will learn to interact in the outside world. The more you heal here, the more you can heal with the people around you. I draw from a wide range of therapeutic methods and modalities, thoughtfully tailoring each session to what best supports you as an individual. An important part of this work is fostering a sense of independence—therapy is meant to empower you and help you build trust in yourself.
My approach to therapy is not centered on keeping clients in treatment indefinitely. Instead, the work we do together is purposeful, thoughtful, and intended to support meaningful, lasting change. You remain an active and empowered participant in your process as we explore underlying patterns within the subconscious and bring greater clarity to your core needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, integrating both evidence-based and experiential approaches to best support you as an individual. Each session is tailored with care to align with your unique goals and experiences. An important part of this work is fostering a sense of autonomy; therapy is meant to support your growth and independence, rather than create reliance. At times, you may notice moments of emotional activation as we gently explore deeper material—this is a natural and supported part of the process. This work is largely experiential and somatic in nature, moving beyond traditional talk therapy to thoughtfully engage both the mind and body in the healing process.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The work we do in this therapeutic space is strong and moving. Currently, I am taking clients who are committed to taking on this challenge, want to have fun and laugh along the way. I process from a Jungian analytical perspective, while using integrative styles, such as combining somatic body work with CBT, DBT for emotional regulation and couples work.
Jungian
We conceptualize and process through a Jungian lens for case conceptualization, mostly healing from an inner child perspective. From there, we allow you to process what you're experiencing, hold space, and challenge your core beliefs. By the end of the session, you feel more grounded, at peace, and confident in yourself.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
After having worked in a DBT lab, we have created an integrative mindfulness step that has helped hundreds of clients in self-soothing as they process their unmanageable emotions.
Somatic
The way I approach Somatic is a combination of EMDR and Somatic Therapy. Our body keeps score, we all know that. We first do that by helping your learn how to ground yourself inside your body rather than escaping it. The next steps are learning how to listen to the different parts of yourself through different sensations. This body-centric approach works by helping to release stress, tension, and trauma from the body
