Great to meet you!

As a licensed marriage and family therapist,I will always lead with a client-centered curiosity, believing that each individual possess the innate capacity to become the person they want to be.

My approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in Psychodynamic exploration of root causes to current distress and/or limitations. Once these root causes are determined, I focus my treatment on assistting my client in overcoming patterns of trauma connected to their early development.

The Interventions by which we will achieve this goal include:

Exploration of developmental traumas that often lay the foundation for current interpersonal and internal distress (Psychodynamic).

Somatic (Poly-Vagal Theory/Nervous system regulation techniques, Breath work)

Expressive and Experiential (Drama therapy/ Gestalt/Internal Family Systems)

What you can expect from me

Your first session will allow you to experience the space holding that my approach to therapy can provide. You will be able to determine if my style is what you are looking for in your therapist. I will be honest with you about what to expect and answer any questions that you may have.
