I primarily work with couples and adult individuals, utilizing a relational, multicultural, and affirming lens. I believe in the science of attachment and the power of relationships to foster healing and growth.
My therapeutic approach is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. At the core, humans are relational beings; the desire for safety and connection is innate. With this framework in mind, I utilize a strengths-based, trauma-informed, egalitarian approach to aid clients in moving toward emotional regulation and a positive view of self and others. I wholeheartedly believe that each person has a unique story to share; I aim to provide a safe space for clients to do so. I utilize a bottom-up approach to therapy. I believe in addressing the source of an issue and using trauma-informed techniques for shifting patterns that your brain and body have become stuck in over time. I integrate concepts and interventions from Attachment Theory, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Interpersonal Neurobiology while taking a Person- or Client-Centered stance. I believe you already have the strength within you to heal; I'm simply here to guide you in uncovering that strength.
