My Approach

My style is warm, relational, and depth-oriented. I've been described as having a "gentle strength" within the therapy space. I am an integrative psychotherapist which means I draw from a variety of therapy modalities and collaborate with you to find what works best. I wholeheartedly believe that you are the expert of your own life and I am here to accompany you, bear witness, and offer deep listening to all the parts of yourself.

Here are some of my favorite approaches to use in therapy:

Psychodynamic & Attachment Theory

Psychodynamic Therapy helps you explore underlying patterns, unconscious processes, and emotional experiences that may be influencing your current challenges. we look for themes that show up across relationships and situations, creating insight that can lead to meaningful, lasting change.

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how your earliest bonds with caregivers impact your sense of safety, trust, and connection. In therapy, we explore these patterns and work toward building more secure, fulfilling relationships, both with others and within yourself.

Narrative Therapy

Narrative Therapy is grounded in the idea that the stories we tell about ourselves shape how we see our lives and possibilities. Sometimes, these stories can become limiting, especially when they’re influenced by past experiences, relationships, or societal expectations. In narrative therapy, we work together to explore and challenge these narratives, separating you from the problems you’re facing rather than seeing them as defining who you are. There is always more to the story and maybe it is time to re-author yours.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT focuses on helping you build a more flexible, compassionate relationship with your thoughts and emotions, rather than trying to control or eliminate them. Instead of getting stuck in cycles of avoidance or self-criticism, ACT supports you in making space for difficult experiences while staying connected to what truly matters to you. ACT encourages us to live according to our values even in the presence of discomfort or uncertainty.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS is based on the idea that we all have different “parts” within us. Each part has its own feelings, roles, and ways of trying to protect us. Some parts may carry pain from past experiences, while others work hard to manage, avoid, or keep that pain out of awareness.

In IFS, we get to know these parts with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment. When we begin to understand and listen to our parts, we can begin the process of unburdening them helping you to cultivate greater self-understanding, balance, and inner harmony.
