My Therapeutic Approach

My approach to therapy is curious, client lead, experiential, collaborative and mindful. As we navigate your thoughts, feelings, and physical experiences, I’ll bring a spacious and candid presence. We’ll likely laugh together; at this absurd world and the ridiculousness of being human. 

My work is intersectional - taking into consideration your various identities and how they intersect to create your unique experience in this world. I view you as a whole person, shaped by the systems and environments around you.

Our conversations might challenge how you see things. While this can feel uncomfortable at times, I've found it's often where some of the most meaningful growth happens. Think of it as exploring uncharted territory within yourself – exciting, a little scary, but full of opportunity.

Theoretical Foundations

My practice is rooted in relational, experiential, and person-centered principles. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, and Polyvagal Theory. These approaches provide pathways to explore how your inner world and relational patterns are interconnected with larger ecological and social systems. Together, they leave space for the whole person.

While these tools help foster insight and lasting change, I also deeply value the simple yet transformative power of the therapeutic relationship itself. 

Couples Therapy

For couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) to foster secure, connected relationships. These approaches honor the mind-body connection and go beyond reductive, quick fixes.  Through these modalities, we will create space for your relationship to surprise, transform, and deepen in ways that honor your shared journey.
