Great to meet you!

I believe in holistic and interpersonal healing of the person as opposed to treatment of disorders. Meaning that in my work with clients, I explore roots of symptoms and believe that we can heal mental health issues by resolving, healing, releasing, and gaining insight from the traumas and difficulties we have built up by needing to survive in our life. I believe in working towards helping clients live their best lives as opposed to just avoid suffering by reducing symptoms.

My approach to therapy

I work with several different treatment modalities, such as trauma-informed and mindfulness-based CBT, energy psychology (Emotional Freedom Technique/Tapping, energy work), Internal Family Systems, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Sensory Experiencing Psychotherapy, and informed by latest neuroscience research on how integrating traumatic memories heals the patterns they create in our lives. I believe in working with each person as a whole and as the expert of their own experiences.

What you can expect from me

Clients who meet with me come away with greater knowledge about how to support themselves and their mental health in daily life, deep insights into the patterns in their life that no longer serve and empowerment to change those patterns, and a plethora of holistic tools to overcoming depression, anxiety, and trauma. Clients will find a warm, welcoming, and open minded space to explore life's challenges from the very small to the very big.
