Healing isn’t linear. It’s messy, raw, beautiful, and deeply personal — which is why I take an eclectic approach to therapy. I don’t believe one size fits all. Each person carries a unique soul story, and my role is to meet you exactly where you are — in the shadows, in the light, and everywhere in between. I was first drawn to this work more than 20 years ago, during my own therapy journey. At that time, I found myself standing at the crossroads of deep trauma healing and transformation. My therapist had an incredible ability to meet me at every bend and turn along that road, holding space for every version of me that surfaced. That experience changed me forever. It became the foundation of my practice — to offer others what was once offered to me: a place to be seen, to feel safe, and to allow the different parts of your soul to be held with love, compassion, and respect. My Therapeutic Approach During our work together, I’ll draw from a blend of therapeutic modalities based on your needs, treatment goals, and what’s emerging in session. Healing is not a straight line, and I trust your system’s innate wisdom to guide the process. I am trained in: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) techniques Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Narrative Therapy Somatic Therapy Throughout our sessions, I integrate mindfulness and the language of the body — because healing often begins where words fall short. I also work with metaphor, imagery, and intuitive tools that help us access the deeper layers of the unconscious. For clients who are open to it, I offer the opportunity to incorporate tarot into sessions as a reflective tool — a mirror for the soul’s inner dialogue and a bridge to intuitive wisdom. Because some of these modalities might be new to you, we’ll explore each one together during our first meeting. I’ll explain how they work, what they can offer, and we’ll decide — collaboratively — what feels right for you. You always have full agency to guide, pause, or shift direction at any time. The Heart of My Work At the core of my work is a simple truth: healing happens in relationship. It’s an honor to walk beside you as you begin (or continue) the sacred work of remembering who you are beneath the pain, the patterns, and the protective layers. Together, we’ll co-create a space where your nervous system can exhale, your story can unfold, and your soul can begin to integrate what it’s been holding. This is not just therapy — it’s a journey of reclamation, shadow integration, and deep self-love.
