I believe that people are capable of healing and wholeness and I feel absolutely honored that you are considering inviting me on your journey. Though it may not feel this way, I truly believe you have everything you need within you to heal and change, and with the right support and safety, you can do just that. I know how frustrating it can be to feel stuck in old patterns or feel stuck in a “box” you didn’t choose. I approach therapy from a compassionate, curious, patient and trauma-informed place, with a goal of helping you feel supported and safe as you gain skills and gently step into the life you choose. Together we can work gently but powerfully to integrate your past so you can live more fully in the present—with more clarity, resilience, and joy. I have years of experience working with individuals of all ages including children, adolescents, adults and families. With significant training in play therapy, I bring a unique lens to the healing process—one that honors the language of the child within you. Many people carry unmet needs, painful experiences, or emotional wounds from childhood that continue to influence their relationships, self-worth, and ability to feel joy. These experiences often live beneath the surface, hidden from your conscious awareness but expressed in patterns of anxiety, avoidance, perfectionism, or emotional reactivity. Together we can work to help you rebuild a sense of safety and trust within yourself, express emotions that were once silenced or misunderstood, develop healthier ways of self-soothing and self-expression, and rewrite old narratives with compassion and in alignment with your values. My approach is grounded in the following modalities/approaches: Client Centered Therapy, EMDR, Inner Child work/Parts work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
