My Therapeutic Approach

Therapy should be a space for healing, self-discovery, and growth. As a trauma-informed therapist, I’m here to listen to your story and understand your unique needs. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive environment where you feel empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.

Many of the individuals I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that no longer serve them. You may be struggling with anxiety that feels unrelenting, battling body image issues, or wanting to feel more comfortable and confident in yourself. Whatever brings you here, I believe that healing is possible—and that therapy can be a powerful step toward greater peace, confidence, and connection.

My approach is collaborative, curious, and direct, grounded in empathy and respect. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), as well as other evidence-based modalities, to support your goals and hopes for your future. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, or a significant life transition, we’ll work together to help you move forward with clarity and hope.
