Trusting and Safe

We always begin by building a trusting relationship where you feel safe to share, feel, and explore. As we deepen our work in therapy, we will weave together tools and techniques from a range of modalities — all designed to meet you where you are and open up possibilities for healing, change, and growth. This is an integrative, iterative process, and together we will focus on what is most resonant and effective for you.

Integrative and Skillful

I draw from the various approaches I’ve trained in because it allows me to meet the moment with each client. One of your needs might be exploring how the past is showing up in your present, then healing and releasing the old wounds and inner scripts that prevent you from moving forward. Or it might be accepting a difficult reality together, then focusing on the strengths and agency you have to face it. Or it might be identifying where a new skill is needed, then learning and practicing it in session. Each of these calls for a different therapeutic lens, and my approach is to combine caring attunement with skillful practice in order to best support you on your path.

Trauma-Informed

My approach has also been shaped by years of providing therapy to hospice patients and their loved ones through the process of death and grieving. Through community outreach services, I also regularly served individuals reeling from sudden and traumatic losses. This work deepened my ability to provide trauma-sensitive care and to help clients face some of life’s most devastating and transformative seasons.
