My Clinical Approach

I draw from Emotion-Focused Therapy along with trauma-informed, attachment-informed, existential, and parts-based approaches.

In session, I pay attention to how emotion, meaning, and relationship patterns are showing up for you. When helpful, I also offer information and resources that help people better understand what they’re experiencing.

My practice is especially well-suited for people navigating emotional overwhelm, difficult relationship patterns, life-changing experiences, or periods of transition and uncertainty.

How I Work

Some people come to therapy knowing exactly what the issue is but can’t seem to shift it. Others come because they just feel off—anxious, low, or overwhelmed without fully understanding why.

Either way, the goal is to feel better.

As things become clearer, people often start to feel some relief. From there, we look at what might help things change in a way that fits you.

Traumatic experiences are approached carefully and only explored with your consent. The work is collaborative, and you have a say in how we move forward.
