I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story.
I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood.
My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Gestalt Therapy Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It helps people integrate different parts of themselves for wholeness.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Jungian Therapy Draws on Carl Jung’s ideas about archetypes, dreams, and the collective unconscious. It helps people explore deeper layers of meaning.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Self Psychology Explores the development of self-esteem and identity. It emphasizes the importance of empathy in healing.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
- Transpersonal Therapy Integrates spirituality and higher states of consciousness with psychology. It encourages growth beyond the individual self.
Approach Description: My approach to therapy is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens. I view each person as having an internal system made up of different parts—some protective, some wounded, and some more connected to a deeper sense of Self. Rather than trying to eliminate symptoms, we work to understand these parts, how they developed, and what they need in order to shift.
I also draw from depth psychology, which means we explore the underlying patterns, unconscious dynamics, and early relational experiences that continue to shape your present life. Many of the struggles that show up as anxiety, depression, codependency, or relationship challenges are not random—they are meaningful and often rooted in adaptive strategies that once helped you cope.
My work is trauma-informed, honoring the ways your nervous system and emotional world have been shaped by both acute and relational trauma. We move at a pace that feels safe and grounded, focusing on building awareness, regulation, and trust within yourself before pushing for change.
At the same time, I integrate a focus on both the “goal line” and the “Soul line.” While we can work toward practical goals—improving relationships, reducing symptoms, creating stability—we also stay connected to a deeper process: your search for meaning, authenticity, and a more Soul-centered way of living. Therapy becomes not just about functioning better, but about living in a way that feels more aligned and true.
This approach is collaborative, active, and insight-oriented. I offer reflections, patterns I notice, and gentle challenges when helpful, while always respecting your pace and experience. The goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, internal coherence, and the ability to navigate your life with more clarity, intention, and self-trust.

People often come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain—repeating the same relationship dynamics, managing persistent anxiety or depression, or feeling disconnected from themselves despite their efforts to change. At times, life can begin to feel driven by external expectations or achievement alone. My work is designed to help you move beyond surface-level understanding and into a deeper exploration of what’s actually driving these experiences—while also reconnecting with a more authentic, Soul-centered way of living.
I work from a parts-based, depth-oriented, and trauma-informed framework. This means we pay close attention to the internal system that developed over time—protective parts that may show up as overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, or self-criticism. Rather than trying to get rid of these responses, we work to understand their origins, their purpose, and how they’ve helped you adapt. As this understanding deepens, it opens space not only for change, but for a more conscious relationship with both your “goal line”—what you strive for in the external world—and your “Soul line”—the deeper, internal pull toward meaning, authenticity, and wholeness.
My practice focuses on trauma recovery, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, codependency, and relationship issues. This includes both acute trauma and the more subtle, cumulative impact of relational experiences that shape how you see yourself and others. Alongside addressing these challenges, therapy becomes a space to explore your own search for Soul—what feels true, grounded, and aligned beyond roles, expectations, or survival strategies.
The therapeutic relationship itself is an important part of the work. I aim to create an environment that feels steady, engaged, and nonjudgmental—where you can show up honestly without needing to filter or perform. I am active and thoughtful in sessions, offering reflections, insight, and gentle challenge when it supports your growth.
As therapy progresses, clients often notice a shift in how they relate to themselves. There is less internal conflict, more self-trust, and a greater ability to navigate emotions without becoming overwhelmed or shut down. Over time, there is also a growing alignment between how you live your life outwardly and what feels meaningful inwardly—bringing the goal line and Soul line into closer connection.
This work is not about quick fixes. It’s about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, healing what has shaped you, and creating a life that feels both intentional and deeply aligned. If you’re drawn to therapy that honors both psychological growth and the search for Soul, this may be a meaningful place to begin.
