My Approach

Healing begins with feeling safe enough to be fully seen.

I believe that many of the ways we think, feel, and respond today make sense when we consider what we've lived through. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with me?" therapy invites us to ask, "What happened to me?" and "What do I need now to heal?"

For more than seven years, I've had the privilege of supporting survivors of intimate partner violence and abuse. That experience has shaped my understanding of how trauma affects not only our emotions, but also our relationships, self-worth, sense of safety, and the ways we move through the world.

Together, we'll explore the experiences that have shaped you while also making space for the influence of culture, family, relationships, and other systems that contribute to your story. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel empowered to understand yourself with greater compassion, reconnect with your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Every person's healing journey is unique. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to your individual needs using evidence-based and trauma-informed practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based approaches, parts work, mindfulness, creative expression, and body-centered approaches to trauma healing.

Healing isn't about becoming someone different. It's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have always been there beneath the pain, fear, and self-doubt.
