Therapy, at its core, is a journey of shared humanity. You are not a diagnosis, but a human being, with really good reasons for how you got to this point in life. Honoring the ways you have survived your pain cultivates your self-acceptance which is essential to my approach to transformative therapy. Whether you're caught in negative relationship patterns, repetitive self criticism, or trapped cycles of procrastination and overwhelm; together we can work to uncover the roots of your struggles, transform negative patterns, and foster your resilience.
My therapeutic lens is trauma-informed, grounded in attachment theory, drawing from models such as Emotion Focused Therapy, IFS, and at times, a touch dark humor. I enjoy relating authentically with clients rather than a blank presence. Moving beyond pop-psychology buzzwords and inspirational quotes, I strive to offer a space to process, integrate and grow.
Healing is a gradual process, one that often involves navigating through deep-rooted defenses. You deserve to be truly seen, and deeply understood, and I hope to provide you that. Together, we will uncover the strength and wisdom that is already present within you.
