My Approach

I work in a steady, clear way. Therapy here moves slowly enough to think and feel at the same time, so things that feel knotted or confusing can begin to loosen.

My work balances depth with practicality. I’m trained in Emotion-Focused Therapy and draw from CBT, existential therapy, and parts-based approaches when they’re useful. Rather than applying techniques, I pay attention to how emotion, thought, meaning, and relationship patterns are interacting in the moment.

I’m comfortable working with complexity, including experiences that don’t arrive neatly or make immediate sense. I stay curious and nonjudgmental when things feel unclear. Humor often emerges naturally in the work and can open space or shift perspective without minimizing what matters.

We may also pay attention to signals from the body, which often register experience before words do. This might show up as a sudden tear, a laugh that feels slightly off, or tension held in the jaw or shoulders. When it feels appropriate, we can gently notice these signals, always guided by your sense of safety.

Most sessions make room for whatever is present—hesitation, confusion, frustration, sadness, moments of lightness, old patterns tightening, or the sense that something new is forming. We move in a way that supports clarity, steadiness, and choice.

I don’t offer answers or directives. What I offer is careful attention, so we can see more clearly what’s actually happening and decide together what to do with it.
