This is a space where you can exhale - where you don’t have to hold it all together. You’re welcome here as you are: messy, uncertain, grieving, hopeful, stuck, hurt, or in the middle of change. I often work with folks who feel disconnected from themselves or others as well as their own desires and needs. Together, we slow things down and listen for what’s happening beneath the surface (emotionally, relationally, and in the body).
I’ll meet you with steadiness and care, while also challenging the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Our work is about deepening your relationship with yourself and others, and moving toward a life that feels more connected and intentional. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or a general sense of disconnection, we’ll work together to understand what’s underneath and shift what no longer serves you. If this resonates, please reach out. Let's chat about how I can support you.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: My approach is somatic, relational, and psychodynamic, grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. It is also collaborative, emotion-focused, and centered on deepening your connection to yourself and others. Our work offers warmth, thoughtful reflection, and gentle challenge to support meaningful growth.
I am an active participant in the process, offering insights and observations while staying closely attuned to your lived experience. Together we slow down and make space for emotions that may feel overwhelming or avoided, so they can be understood rather than pushed away. When we tend to what is happening beneath the surface, clarity, resilience, and new possibilities can emerge.
You are the expert on your own life, and your voice guides our work. I welcome your feedback at any point so that therapy stays responsive to what you actually need.
