Approach

Therapy with me is more than a place to talk. It is a space to understand yourself more deeply, see your life with greater clarity, and feel more at home in your own skin. Some sessions bring insight that sparks change. Others offer the relief of being fully heard and understood. Both matter.

In our work together, there is room to process what’s happening now, explore what has shaped you, and discover new ways forward that feel grounded and authentic. That might mean taking clear action or allowing the deeper truths to surface in their own time.

How I Work

I believe therapy works best when it is both insightful and practical. My style is collaborative and adaptive, meeting you where you are while supporting where you want to be.

My approach blends:

• Psychodynamic insight to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape your present.
• Cognitive-behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in real time.
• Mindfulness practices to help you stay grounded and present under pressure.
• Solution-focused strategies to clarify goals and take meaningful steps forward when needed.
• Compassion-focused work to build self-kindness and resilience in ways that fit real life.
• Humanistic and relational frameworks to center your values, lived experiences, and strengths.
• Trauma-informed care including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing and healing experiences that still hold weight.
   

When Trauma Is Part of the Picture

For some, therapy involves working through events that still intrude on daily life, moments that feel unresolved or keep resurfacing. In those cases, I may integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) or other evidence-based approaches to help reprocess what happened, so it no longer carries the same emotional charge.

What to Expect

We begin with a complimentary 30-minute consultation call to explore what is bringing you here and whether my approach feels right for you. If we decide to work together, I will send secure online forms and we will schedule your first session.

In our first session, I will guide more - asking questions to get a clear sense of you, goals, and what is on your mind. From there, our work can be exploratory, practical, or both, moving at the pace and in the direction that serves you best.
