  • "Trauma healing is not a linear process. It involves peaks and valleys, setbacks and progress. The key is to keep moving forward, even on the difficult days."

    -Michele Rosenthal, Your Life After Trauma

  • "Anything that's human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary."

    -Fred Rogers

  • "Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going inside ourselves."

    -Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score

  • "Boundaries are not walls. A wall keeps people out, while boundaries show people how to exist in a relationship with you."

My Approach

In my therapeutic approach, I integrate various modalities to create a comprehensive and inclusive space for healing that is individualized for each clients’ needs. Grounded in Attachment Theory, I explore the impact of early relationships on current emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics. Inner child work is a pivotal component, allowing us to delve into past experiences and foster self-compassion and understanding.

Somatic therapy is woven into the fabric of our sessions, acknowledging the mind-body connection and promoting awareness of physical sensations. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for emotional regulation and effective communication, while Emotion-Focused Therapy guides our exploration of emotions as a pathway to transformation.

Beyond therapeutic modalities, I personalize each session to the needs of each client, and what they are individually needing per session. Importantly, my practice is unequivocally queer-friendly, recognizing and affirming the diverse experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community

Together, you and I will embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, fostering a safe and affirming space for you to explore your unique path towards well-being.
