I believe therapy is about discovering yourself with greater compassion, not fixing something that's broken. My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and rooted in Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and attachment-based principles. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a special education teacher, which deepened my appreciation for every person's unique experiences and strengths. Together, we'll explore what has shaped you, build self-trust, and create meaningful change that supports healthier relationships and a more authentic life.

Our minds are a complex mix of past experiences and present perceptions. It can be confusing to sort out what is real and relevant to your current situation. Through our therapy we engage in a mutual journey of discovery to find out what makes you tick. Self understanding gives you choices. No longer will you operate on automatic pilot. Couple and Family Therapy operate in a similar way, except the work is to help family members listen and understand each other, to support and encourage each other. Families fall into hurtful habits of discord. That can be changed with effort and help.

My primary approach to working with clients is Relational Psychotherapy. "Relational therapists help clients understand, on the one hand, their own patterns of thoughts and feelings about themselves, and on the other hand, the power of significant relationships, past and present, to shape this self-experience. Relational therapy strengthens and transforms a client's sense of self, which in turn enhances his or her confidence and well-being in the world." In other words, as a relational psychotherapist, I will be with you as you explore your life, your sense of self, and your relationships with others.

Combining these two methods gives me a comprehensive and in-depth awareness of assisting individuals, couples, and families through their growth journey. Through the initial assessment, I will help you establish goals for therapy that are practical and achievable. Psychotherapy is a safe space to explore your any challenges you are facing.
