My Approach

    My approach to therapy is relational, experiential, and body-centered. I believe meaningful change occurs within the context of a safe therapeutic relationship—one in which clients feel understood, respected, challenged when appropriate, and supported in exploring new ways of relating to themselves and others.

    My work is influenced by Relational Gestalt Therapy, attachment theory, family systems, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), yoga therapy, and Somatic Experiencing®. While insight is often an important part of healing, many clients come to therapy already understanding their patterns. My focus is helping individuals move beyond understanding and toward experiencing meaningful change in both mind and body.

    As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Gestalt Therapist, EMDR Consultant, Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), and advanced Somatic Experiencing® trainee, I integrate both traditional psychotherapy and body-based approaches. Depending on a client’s goals, therapy may include EMDR, somatic awareness, nervous system regulation skills, mindfulness, movement, experiential interventions, and exploration of relational patterns that continue to shape present-day experiences.

    I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, life transitions, and challenges related to stress and nervous system dysregulation. My goal is not simply symptom reduction, but helping clients develop greater flexibility, resilience, self-awareness, and connection in their lives.

    Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I strive to create an environment that is authentic, collaborative, compassionate, and growth-oriented. I view therapy as a process of discovering new possibilities rather than simply managing problems, and I believe each person possesses an innate capacity for healing, adaptation, and change.
