About
I approach therapy with the belief that the mind, body, and spirit are deeply interconnected, and that true wellness involves nurturing all aspects of the self. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, while also honoring the deeper emotional and somatic layers that shape our experiences.
I integrate a variety of approaches, including psychodynamic therapy and attachment theory, to help clients uncover how early relationships and past experiences continue to influence their current patterns. Alongside this insight-oriented work, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support emotional regulation, behavior change, and the cultivation of resilience and self-compassion.
My work is also informed by somatic therapy, recognizing that the body holds valuable information and that healing often involves more than just talk. Through grounding, breathwork, and mindful awareness of the body, I help clients reconnect with themselves on a deeper level, release stored tension, and feel more present and whole.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief and loss, or trauma, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore your inner world. I believe that healing is not just about symptom relief, but about fostering a deeper connection to yourself, your values, and your capacity for meaningful change.
