I view therapy as a process of uncovering what keeps us stuck and discovering new ways to feel more grounded and open.
Our lives are shaped by many intersecting forces: our histories, our bodies, our relationships, and the cultural realities we live in. For me, therapy means holding that complexity with care.
I work with adults who feel stuck or disconnected, often because survival, trauma, or cultural expectations took priority over self-expression. Sometimes this shows up as anxiety, grief, or blocked creativity; other times it feels like restlessness, loneliness, or not knowing who you are beyond external expectations.
My approach is relational, experiential, and trauma-informed. Together, we create a safe, supportive dynamic where emotions can be felt in the moment and deeper patterns explored. Sometimes that means slowing down to stay with a feeling, sometimes gently questioning an old belief, and other times noticing the choices available to you right now.
My goal is to offer a space where your story can unfold naturally, without judgment, and where you can ask life’s deeper questions: Who am I beyond expectations? What grounds me when everything feels uncertain? How do I listen again for what I really want?
My style is direct yet gentle. I listen deeply, reflect honestly, and bring warmth and humor into the work. If you’re ready to take this step, I’m here to walk beside you.

Therapeutic Modalities
-
AEDP® is an evidence-supported psychotherapy model based on the idea that we are wired to heal. Even after painful or overwhelming experiences, we have a natural capacity for growth and repair. In therapy, this means creating a safe, supportive relationship where emotions that once felt too difficult can be processed in a way that brings relief, clarity, and resilience. AEDP® helps people reconnect with their inner strengths and move through life with greater openness and hope. Learn more at www.aedpinstitute.org

IFS is an evidence-based approach that understands each of us as having different “parts” — aspects of our personality that carry emotions, memories, and protective roles. Some parts may feel wounded, while others work hard to keep us safe, even if in ways that no longer serve us. In therapy, we gently explore these inner parts with curiosity and compassion, helping them unburden old roles and make space for greater balance and self-leadership. I integrate IFS-informed practices into my work to support this inner healing process. Learn more at www.ifs-institute.com.

EMDR is an evidence-supported approach widely used for healing trauma and distressing experiences. It helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming in the present. This often brings a sense of relief, reduced emotional intensity, and new perspectives on past events. I will be beginning advanced training in EMDR in December 2025 and am committed to integrating this powerful method into my practice with care and integrity. Learn more at www.emdria.org.

Dreamwork is an approach that explores the images, symbols, and stories that arise in our dreams. Rather than interpreting dreams in a fixed way, it invites us to stay curious about what our dreams might reveal about our inner world, emotions, and unresolved experiences. Working with dreams can open new perspectives, deepen self-understanding, and connect unconscious material with our waking life in meaningful ways.
-
ACT is an evidence-based approach that helps people build psychological flexibility, which is the ability to stay present, open up to difficult emotions, and make choices guided by personal values. Instead of trying to eliminate painful thoughts or feelings, ACT focuses on changing our relationship to them, so they have less power over our lives. This approach supports you in living more meaningfully, even in the presence of challenges.
-
Existential therapy is a philosophical and humanistic approach that focuses on life’s deeper questions: meaning, freedom, mortality, identity, and responsibility. Rather than trying to “fix” symptoms, it invites us to explore how we relate to uncertainty, choice, and the search for purpose. This approach helps you face challenges with honesty and courage, and to live in ways that feel more authentic and aligned with your values.
Who I work with
I work with adults over the age of 18. My practice is a safe and welcoming space for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, or religion.
I’m especially drawn to working with people who feel creatively or personally stuck, caught in cycles of self-doubt, perfectionism, or fear of stepping into their full potential. Many of my clients grew up in environments where survival mattered more than self-expression, whether due to trauma, displacement, or cultural expectations.
Living this way can lead to deep patterns of overthinking, stagnation, and alienation. Therapy offers a space to begin loosening those patterns, reconnecting with your spark, and discovering new ways of being.
Whether you’re seeking clarity, self-trust, or the courage to embrace change, I am here to walk alongside you.
