Therapeutic Approach
The mind and body play a critical role in healing and reconnecting with your true self. Neuroscience, mindfulness, and somatic awareness—insights your body may be sending—are essential tools in my work. Clients receive support from a range of theoretical approaches, including EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, self-psychology, client-centered therapy, relational therapy, attachment-based therapy, and CBT. Therapy is tailored to meet you where you are. You are the expert of your own experience, and I value the unique background you bring to our collaboration.
Trauma can feel like a theft of the psyche, altering the course of our lives and changing how we relate to the world. Relationships can become challenging and confusing. We may crave intimacy and trust but find ourselves stuck in unhealthy patterns. It can be hard to manage our emotions while facing heightened anxiety, depression, shame, or guilt. However, through therapy, it is possible to find psychological relief and enhance our quality of life. Achieving a stronger sense of self, safety, and stability is within reach.
