Therapy Approach

Theoretical Orientations:

Developmental Psychology
Developmental tasks and emotional needs can be disrupted throughout life. By integrating mindfulness, curiosity, and creativity, we can identify and heal developmental wounds, guiding you toward greater understanding and growth.

Humanistic Psychology
I believe in your innate resilience and capacity for self-healing, which flourish in a nurturing environment. This person-centered approach focuses on your potential for growth and self-actualization, rather than just addressing problems.

Transpersonal Psychology
Transpersonal psychology makes space for experiences beyond the psychological, embracing both spiritual and existential dimensions. Whether through higher consciousness, spirituality, or a sense of unity with the universe, we honor your full range of experiences to support holistic healing.

Treatment Modalities

I integrate a wide variety of frameworks, including but not limited to:

Evidence-Based Treatments
I customize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Solution-Focused Therapy to fit your goals. These treatments are approved for insurance reimbursement and address concerns like anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Mindfulness & Contemplative Practices
Mindfulness helps you ground yourself, develop awareness, and cultivate presence. Contemplative practices, like meditation, breathwork, guided imagery, or journaling, offer a range of benefits that can support mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. 

Hakomi Body-Centered Therapy

The Hakomi Method is one therapeutic mindfulness practice that attunes to present moment states in order to discover unconscious belief systems, their origins, and to provide a reparative and nourishing experience. 

Art Therapy
Art Therapy allows you to explore your inner world through creative expression, often uncovering emotions that words cannot reach. This process combines mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and artistic exploration to address complex emotions.

Dream Work
Dreams can reveal unconscious wisdom through metaphors and symbols. Processing dream content helps you understand deeper emotions and their messages.

Tarot Card Inquiry
Tarot cards, like dreams, use archetypes and symbols to reflect the roles and lessons present in your life. Together, we explore these images to connect with your inner wisdom and discover their meaning for you.
