Embedded Files
My style is often described as warm, collaborative, non-judgmental, and client-centered, allowing space for you to lead your own self-exploration. My intention is to offer a compassionate and creative therapeutic environment where trust, curiosity, and collaboration can foster growth and healing. Together, we start where you are and allow the process to unfold in alignment with your needs.
Theoretical Orientations:
Developmental Psychology
Our developmental needs and emotional experiences can become disrupted throughout life, often shaping the patterns, relationships, and protective strategies we carry into adulthood. Through mindfulness, curiosity, and creativity, we can begin to better understand and heal these wounds while fostering greater self-awareness, resilience, and growth.
Humanistic Psychology
I believe in your innate resilience and capacity for growth, healing, and self-understanding. This person-centered approach emphasizes compassion, authenticity, and the importance of creating a supportive therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to explore your experiences and reconnect with yourself more fully.
Transpersonal Psychology
Transpersonal psychology creates space for experiences beyond the psychological, honoring spiritual, existential, intuitive, and deeply meaningful aspects of being human. Whether through mindfulness, dreamwork, creativity, spirituality, or a sense of connection to something larger than ourselves, this approach supports holistic healing and exploration of the full self.
Treatment Modalities
I integrate a variety of therapeutic frameworks and approaches tailored to your individual needs, goals, and lived experiences.
Evidence-Based Treatments
I incorporate evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Solution-Focused Therapy to support concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Care
I offer a neurodivergent-affirming approach that recognizes the impact of masking, sensory overwhelm, burnout, nervous system differences, and lifelong experiences of feeling misunderstood. Together, we work toward greater self-understanding, self-compassion, authenticity, and sustainable ways of supporting your needs.
Mindfulness & Contemplative Practices
Mindfulness can help cultivate awareness, grounding, and connection to the present moment. Contemplative practices such as meditation, breathwork, guided imagery, journaling, and creative reflection may support emotional regulation, self-understanding, and overall well-being.
Hakomi Body-Centered Therapy
Hakomi is a mindfulness-based, body-centered approach that gently explores unconscious beliefs, patterns, and protective strategies through present-moment awareness. This work can support deeper self-understanding while creating opportunities for new emotional experiences rooted in compassion, safety, and connection.
Parts Work & Inner Child Exploration
At times, therapy may involve exploring different “parts” of yourself that developed in response to past experiences, relationships, or unmet needs. With compassion and curiosity, we can begin to better understand protective patterns, reconnect with wounded aspects of self, and foster greater internal safety and integration.
Art Therapy
Art Therapy offers opportunities to explore your inner world through creative expression, often accessing emotions and experiences that may feel difficult to fully express through words alone. This process integrates mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and creative exploration to support insight, healing, and growth.
Dream Work
Dreams can offer symbolic insight into unconscious emotions, experiences, and inner conflicts. Together, we may explore dream imagery, themes, and metaphors as a way of deepening self-understanding and connecting with your inner wisdom.
Tarot Card Inquiry
At times, tarot may be incorporated as a reflective and symbolic tool for exploration. Similar to dreamwork, tarot can offer imagery, archetypes, and metaphors that support curiosity, insight, and connection to your own intuition and meaning-making process.
Experiential Trauma Therapy
Experiential trauma work emphasizes embodied, relational, and present-focused approaches to healing. For clients navigating PTSD or complex trauma, we first work to build safety, self-awareness, and regulation skills before moving toward deeper trauma processing and integration.
Next Steps:
Whether you’re seeking healing, growth, deeper self-understanding, or a stronger connection with yourself, therapy can offer space to slow down and explore what you need at your own pace. Together, we’ll honor your unique process while working toward meaningful, sustainable change.
